Sans Superellipse Himav 14 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Myriad' by Adobe, 'Mozer' by Fontfabric, 'Sans Beam' by Stawix, 'MaryTodd' by TipoType, and 'Marble' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from compact, heavy strokes with squared terminals softened by rounded corners, creating a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) silhouette across curves and bowls. Forms are simplified and highly geometric, with tight apertures and dense, vertical rhythm that reads strongly in stacked lines. Counters are relatively small for the weight, while curves stay controlled and boxy rather than circular, giving letters like C, G, O, and S a sturdy, engineered feel. Numerals and capitals share the same robust, compressed proportions, and the overall texture is dark and uniform in massing.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, brand marks, and packaging where a compact, powerful typographic block is desirable. It can also work for UI labels or signage when used at larger sizes with extra spacing to preserve legibility.
The tone is assertive and no-nonsense—more athletic and industrial than friendly—delivering a punchy, attention-grabbing voice. Its rounded corners keep the heaviness from feeling harsh, but the compact geometry still signals strength, urgency, and modern utility.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and presence in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to balance toughness with approachability. Its consistent, simplified construction prioritizes bold recognition and a contemporary, industrial cleanliness.
In the text sample, the dense color and narrow set create strong headline impact but reduce internal whitespace, so clarity relies on generous tracking and ample sizes. The squared, rounded-corner construction is consistent throughout, producing a cohesive, logo-like presence even in mixed-case settings.
