Sans Superellipse Hobew 9 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Epoca Pro' by Hoftype, 'Famiar' by Mans Greback, 'Prelo Pro' by Monotype, and 'Facto' and 'Syke' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with superellipse-like curves and softly squared counters. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing a compact, high-impact texture with minimal modulation. Terminals tend to be blunt and squared-off while corners are generously rounded, creating a sturdy silhouette. The lowercase shows simple, geometric constructions with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and broad, open apertures; numerals are wide, stable, and built from the same rounded-rectangle logic.
Best suited to display settings where impact and clarity are needed—headlines, posters, large UI labels, event graphics, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work on packaging and signage where a friendly but assertive voice is desired, while longer text blocks may feel dense due to the weight and tight texture.
The overall tone is confident and approachable: big, emphatic shapes that feel contemporary and energetic rather than formal. Rounded geometry softens the weight, giving it a friendly, sporty presence suitable for attention-getting messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with clean, geometric construction and softened corners, balancing assertiveness with approachability. Its superellipse-driven round forms suggest a focus on contemporary branding and large-scale readability rather than delicate typographic nuance.
Spacing appears slightly tight in the sample text, reinforcing a strong, poster-like typographic color. Round letters (O, Q, 0, 8) read as squarish rounds, and the straight-sided forms (E, F, T, I) keep a rigid, architectural rhythm that contrasts pleasantly with the rounded corners.
