Sans Superellipse Humow 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cadmium' by AVP, 'Absolut Pro' by Ingo, 'Jasan' by Storm Type Foundry, and 'Elysio' by Type Dynamic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with superellipse-driven construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles, with softly flattened curves and squared-off terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and the overall texture is dense and blocky. Several letters show intentionally irregular, slightly tipped or sheared joins and terminals, creating a lively, hand-cut feel while keeping a coherent geometry. Counters are small and often squarish (notably in O, P, R, 8, 9), and punctuation/dots appear stout and rectangular, reinforcing the chunky rhythm.
Best suited to display roles where impact and personality matter: posters, big headings, playful brand marks, packaging, and short punchy lines. It can also work for badges, labels, and social graphics where a friendly, retro-leaning boldness is desired.
The font projects a warm, humorous tone with a bold, toy-like presence. Its rounded-rectangular forms and subtle wonkiness evoke mid-century display lettering and casual signage, giving text an approachable, energetic voice rather than a formal or technical one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with soft, approachable shapes, combining rounded-rectangle geometry with small irregularities to avoid a rigid, purely geometric feel. It prioritizes bold legibility and character at larger sizes over neutral, text-centric restraint.
Wide apertures are generally restrained, so internal whitespace stays tight at display sizes; the overall silhouette does most of the work. Diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) look slightly softened and weighty, and the numerals match the same compact, rounded-rect geometry for a consistent set.
