Sans Superellipse Halij 4 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Celdum' and 'Metral' by The Northern Block, 'Kongress' by Tipo Pèpel, and 'Ddt' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with squared-round (superellipse-like) curves and mostly monoline strokes. Counters are compact and rounded-rectangular, and many joins terminate in crisp, straight cuts rather than tapered endings, creating a sturdy, engineered silhouette. Uppercase forms are wide and stable with softened corners, while lowercase shapes keep a functional, slightly condensed rhythm and minimal curvature where possible. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, reading like solid blocks with smoothed edges for consistent texture in text and UI-style strings.
Best suited to headlines, packaging and brand marks, posters, and short display copy where its blocky geometry can read as intentional and distinctive. It also works well for UI labels, dashboards, and wayfinding-style applications thanks to its firm shapes and consistent stroke behavior, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels contemporary and tech-forward, with an industrial, machine-made calm. Its softened corners add approachability to an otherwise rigid, modular structure, projecting confidence without feeling aggressive. The look suggests digital interfaces, modern transport signage, and product design contexts where clarity and firmness matter.
The design appears intended to merge a geometric, modular construction with softened corners to balance precision and friendliness. By building curves from superellipse-like rounds and keeping stroke contrast minimal, it aims for a strong, modern voice that remains clean and legible in contemporary interface and display settings.
Round letters such as C, G, O, and Q are built from rounded rectangles rather than true circles, giving a distinctive squarish warmth. Diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are sharp and structural, and the family’s punctuation-like forms in the sample text show the same squared-round vocabulary, maintaining a uniform, graphic texture at large sizes.
