Sans Superellipse Hurak 12 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Molde' by Letritas; 'Helvetica Now', 'Neue Plak', and 'Neue Plak Display' by Monotype; and 'NeoGram' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with broad, compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves read as superelliptical rather than purely circular, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with tight apertures in letters like C, S, and e, and generally closed, efficient interior spaces. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt; joins are clean and simplified, producing crisp silhouettes even at large sizes.
This font is best suited to short, prominent text where mass and silhouette matter: headlines, poster typography, brand marks, packaging callouts, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for UI labels or buttons when a strong, condensed message is needed, though its tight apertures suggest using generous sizing and spacing for longer passages.
The overall tone is bold and confident, with a contemporary, no-nonsense voice softened by rounded corners. It feels sporty and approachable rather than formal, projecting energy and clarity for attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and legibility through simplified geometry, sturdy strokes, and rounded-square curves that remain distinctive at a glance. It prioritizes bold presence and consistent rhythm over delicate detail, aiming for contemporary display versatility.
Capitals are wide and stable, with simple, architectural forms (notably the straight-sided E/F and the rectangular C). The lowercase keeps a practical, single-storey feel for a, g, and q, reinforcing an engineered, signage-like rhythm. Numerals are similarly blocky and uniform, designed to hold up as solid shapes in display settings.
