Sans Superellipse Hurin 5 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Adhesive Letters JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'MVB Diazo' by MVB, 'Imagine Pro' by Salamahtype, and 'ME Plastic' by Sudtipos (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with a squared-off, superellipse skeleton: rounded-rectangle bowls, softly curved corners, and largely uniform stroke thickness. Proportions are condensed with tight apertures and counters, producing dense, rectangular word shapes. Curves on letters like C, G, O, and S feel built from broad arcs rather than calligraphic modulation, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are thick and stable. Terminals are blunt and clean, and the overall rhythm favors solid verticals and short horizontal joins, prioritizing impact over delicacy.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a dense, high-impact voice is desirable. It can work well on packaging and signage that benefits from compact width and strong silhouette, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a bold, poster-like presence that reads as industrial and slightly retro. Its compact heft feels assertive and practical, leaning toward signage and display typography rather than conversational text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a condensed footprint while maintaining a friendly, softened geometry through rounded corners. The consistent stroke and superellipse construction suggest an emphasis on bold legibility and a cohesive, modern-industrial texture.
Round characters retain a boxy footprint, giving the font a distinctive “rounded-square” texture across lines. The numerals appear designed for the same dense, high-impact color, with simplified forms and minimal interior space to stay dark and consistent at large sizes.
