Sans Superellipse Hakow 2 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Objet' by Pascal Tarris, 'Hyperspace Race' by Swell Type, 'Coupe' by T-26, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with squared construction softened by generous rounded corners. Strokes stay consistently thick, with tight apertures and broadly rectangular counters that create a compact, blocky texture in text. Curves tend toward superellipse shapes (notably in O, C, G, 0, 8, 9), while diagonals and joins are clipped and angular, producing crisp terminals and a slightly mechanical rhythm. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with minimal modulation and a single-storey feel where applicable, keeping word shapes dense and uniform.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, titles, posters, logos, and brand systems that benefit from a sturdy, modern voice. It also fits UI labeling and in-game/interface typography where a geometric, hardware-like aesthetic is desirable. For longer passages, it will read most comfortably with generous size and spacing due to its dense interiors.
The overall tone feels technical and engineered—confident, modern, and a bit aggressive. Its rounded-square geometry suggests sci‑fi interfaces, equipment labeling, and contemporary sports branding rather than soft editorial or literary use.
The design appears intended to merge industrial clarity with a contemporary rounded-square aesthetic, delivering a strong, high-contrast silhouette without relying on stroke modulation. It prioritizes impact, consistency, and a distinctly technical geometry across letters and figures.
The numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, with the 0 reading as a squared oval and the 2/3 showing flat, segmented curves that reinforce a digital, display-like character. In continuous text the compact counters and broad strokes create strong presence and high impact, especially at larger sizes.
