Sans Superellipse Hidim 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hudson NY Pro' by Arkitype, 'Deerfield JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'Radley' by Variatype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into broad superelliptical corners rather than true circles, giving counters and bowls a squarish, machined feel. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, terminals are blunt, and joins stay crisp. Proportions are compact with relatively narrow apertures; many letters (like O/Q and the numerals) favor squared-off bowls, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are straight and forceful, producing a tight, high-density texture in headlines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, display typography, posters, and bold brand marks. It also fits sports and tech-oriented graphics, packaging callouts, and UI/wayfinding moments where compact, blocky forms help maintain presence at a distance.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a contemporary, engineered edge. Its rounded-square geometry reads as sporty and tech-forward, projecting confidence and impact without feeling playful.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch using a systematic rounded-rectangle geometry, balancing blunt industrial strength with softened corners for modern versatility. It prioritizes bold silhouettes and uniform stroke behavior to stay consistent across letters and numerals in large-scale use.
The design maintains a consistent corner radius across glyphs, which unifies the alphabet and reinforces the superelliptical theme. Spacing in the sample text creates a solid, poster-like rhythm where shapes lock together into strong word silhouettes.
