Sans Superellipse Hakup 1 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hudson NY Pro' by Arkitype, 'Air Corps JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Refinery' by Kimmy Design, 'B52' by Komet & Flicker, and 'Octin College' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, geometric sans built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle counters, giving letters a superellipse feel. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with straight-sided verticals and softened corners that keep shapes crisp without becoming sharp. Uppercase forms read wide and stable, while lowercase keeps tight apertures and simple constructions; bowls and counters are more rectangular than circular. Figures follow the same logic with boxy curves and clear, modular silhouettes, creating a consistent, engineered rhythm across the set.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where a geometric, technical flavor is desired. It also fits signage, packaging, and UI label scenarios that benefit from compact, high-impact letterforms and consistent modular shapes. In longer text blocks it will create a dense, emphatic texture, making it best as a display or short-copy workhorse.
The overall tone is modern and technical, with an industrial, equipment-label confidence. Its squared curves and dense weight suggest contemporary interfaces, hardware, and sport or gaming aesthetics rather than humanist warmth. The voice is direct and no-nonsense, optimized for impact and clarity.
The design appears intended to merge strong, uniform strokes with rounded-rect geometry for a contemporary, engineered look. By keeping apertures tight and counters boxy, it aims for a compact, robust silhouette that holds up in high-contrast applications and conveys a modern, technical personality.
Terminals are predominantly flat, and the rounding is applied consistently to corners and inner counters, producing a cohesive, slightly condensed texture in paragraphs. The design favors sturdy shapes and controlled spacing, which helps maintain legibility at display sizes and in strong headline settings.
