Sans Superellipse Hinod 6 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'AG Book W1G' by Berthold, 'Newhouse DT' by DTP Types, 'Opinion Pro' by Mint Type, and 'Kelpt' and 'Kelpt Sans' by Typesketchbook (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with a squared-up, superelliptical construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles, and terminals are mostly blunt with gently softened corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense color and strong vertical emphasis. Proportions feel tall and efficient, with tight interior counters in letters like a, e, s, and g, while round forms (o, 0, O) stay squarish rather than circular. Numerals share the same sturdy, compressed geometry for a uniform, sign-like texture in display sizes.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, and bold brand lockups where dense, compact letters help maximize impact in limited space. It can also work well for packaging, labels, and sporty or industrial visual systems where a sturdy, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian—more engineered than expressive—conveying strength, urgency, and a no-nonsense modernity. Its condensed heft gives it a sporty, headline-driven energy that feels at home in bold, attention-seeking contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with minimal ornament: a condensed, heavy sans built on rounded-rectangle geometry for strong readability in display settings and a contemporary, functional personality.
The uppercase set reads particularly architectural, with straight-sided forms and compact apertures, while lowercase maintains the same blocky rhythm and tight counters for continuity. The superelliptical roundness keeps the heaviness from feeling overly harsh, adding a controlled softness to edges and curves.
