Sans Superellipse Higuv 6 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Judgement' by Device, 'Kanal' by Identikal Collection, 'Behover' by Martype co, 'Kanal' by T-26, and 'Emmentaler' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with a squared-off, superelliptical construction and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, with counters kept small and often rectangular, giving the letters a carved, stencil-like solidity without actual breaks. Curves are largely translated into rounded rectangles (notably in C, G, O, Q, and numerals), while joins and terminals stay blunt and flat. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with simplified forms and minimal modulation; the lowercase maintains a tall, sturdy silhouette with compact bowls and short, squared terminals.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, labels, and bold signage. It works particularly well where a compact, engineered look is desired and where large sizes can preserve the small counters and interior details.
The overall tone is robust and mechanical, evoking industrial labeling and retro-futurist display typography. Its blocky geometry and tight apertures feel utilitarian and tech-minded, with a slightly game/arcade or sci‑fi poster energy when set large.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry for a modern, industrial voice. The simplified, monoline build and squared counters suggest a focus on clarity and repeatable shapes for strong display presence.
Distinctive identifying traits include the rectangular, inset-like counters (especially in B, D, O, P, R) and the squared, stepped geometry seen in S and several numerals. The design reads best when spacing is given room, as the heavy mass and small inner spaces can close up at smaller sizes.
