Sans Superellipse Higiz 5 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Etrusco Now' by Italiantype, 'Monopol' by Suitcase Type Foundry, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with tightly packed proportions and a strongly vertical stance. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: broad, flat terminals, squared curves, and smoothly softened corners that keep counters relatively small. Strokes remain largely uniform, producing an even, dense texture, while shapes like O/C/G read as superelliptical bowls rather than true circles. The lowercase is similarly compact, with short ascenders and descenders and simple, direct construction that prioritizes solidity over delicacy.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging fronts, and bold signage where compact width and strong color are advantages. It can also work for sports or industrial branding systems, particularly where space is limited but emphasis is required.
The overall tone is forceful and practical, with a no-nonsense, workmanlike presence. Its condensed density and rounded-rectilinear curves evoke industrial labeling, athletic headline typography, and impact-driven display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a condensed footprint while maintaining a consistent, modern construction. The rounded-rectangle skeleton suggests a goal of combining sturdy, utilitarian clarity with a slightly softened, contemporary feel.
At text sizes the small counters and tight internal spaces can darken quickly, especially in letters such as a/e/s and numerals like 8. The design’s rounded corners help prevent the weight from feeling sharp or aggressive, keeping it bold but controlled.
