Sans Superellipse Hodef 7 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Sans Beam' by Stawix, 'Newbery Sans Pro' by Sudtipos, 'Indecise' by Tipo Pèpel, and 'Obvia Condensed' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with a squared, superelliptical skeleton: counters and curves are built from rounded-rectangle forms rather than true circles. Strokes are dense and relatively even, with tight apertures and short joins that keep the silhouettes blocky and stable. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, corners are softened, and verticals dominate, producing a strong, condensed rhythm. Numerals and caps read like poster lettering, with simplified geometry and sturdy internal spaces that prioritize impact over delicacy.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and brand marks where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable. It also works for short UI labels, packaging callouts, and sports/industrial-themed graphics, especially where horizontal space is limited and clarity at larger sizes matters most.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a contemporary, industrial edge. Its rounded-square curves temper the aggression of the weight, giving it a friendly but still commanding presence that feels suited to bold, energetic messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact width while maintaining a cohesive, rounded-square geometry. It aims for a modern, engineered feel that stays legible in bold display settings and holds up under strong contrast and tight spacing.
The lowercase shows a straightforward, built-up construction with compact bowls and minimal modulation; the overall set feels engineered for consistent dark color and tight packing. The superelliptical roundness keeps the texture uniform across both text and display lines.
