Sans Superellipse Hamup 12 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Aguda' and 'Aguda Stencil' by Graviton, 'Phatthana' by Jipatype, and 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky, geometric sans with a squared‑round (superellipse) construction: corners are broadly rounded while straights stay firm and planar. Strokes are largely monoline with minimal modulation, producing an even, low-detail texture. Counters are rectangular-to-rounded rectangles, apertures are generally tight, and joins favor crisp angles over calligraphic softness. The overall width is generous with a steady rhythm, and the numerals follow the same squared-rounded logic for a cohesive alphanumeric set.
Best suited to display-oriented work where its squared-rounded forms can project a strong, modern identity—headlines, logotypes, packaging, and tech or industrial branding. It can also work for short UI labels or signage-style text where a compact, robust texture is desirable.
The squared-rounded geometry gives the face a tech-forward, engineered tone—clean, sturdy, and slightly retro-futuristic. It reads as confident and utilitarian rather than friendly or expressive, with an emphasis on solidity and clarity at display sizes.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical, high-impact sans that feels engineered and contemporary. By keeping stroke contrast low and emphasizing controlled radii, it aims for a consistent, system-like voice across letters and numbers.
Terminals tend to be blunt and squared off, and curves resolve into controlled radii rather than true circular bowls, reinforcing the modular, device-like feel. The spacing appears comfortable for large headlines, while the tight internal shapes create a dense, impactful word image.
