Sans Superellipse Hadol 5 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bunken Tech Sans' by Buntype, 'Digital Sans Now' by Elsner+Flake, 'Midsole' and 'Tradesman' by Grype, and 'Obvia Wide' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric sans built from squared, superelliptical forms with generously rounded corners and uniform stroke weight. Curves and straight segments meet with smooth, consistent radiusing, producing boxy counters in letters like O and D and a highly structured rhythm across the alphabet. Terminals are predominantly blunt and horizontal/vertical, with compact apertures and minimal modulation; diagonal forms (V, W, X, Y) keep the same sturdy stroke presence. Lowercase shapes are simple and engineered, with single-storey a and g, a squared-shoulder n, and a short, sturdy t; figures are similarly rectilinear, with a rounded-square 0 and a stepped, angular 2/3 language.
Best suited to headlines, wordmarks, and brand systems that want a geometric, modern voice with a slightly sci‑fi edge. It also performs well in UI titling, signage, and packaging where compact, high-impact shapes and rounded-rect geometry help maintain clarity and recognition.
The overall tone is modern and machine-like, balancing friendliness from the rounded corners with a firm, utilitarian solidity. It reads as contemporary and tech-forward, with an assertive, display-oriented presence that feels suited to interfaces, hardware, and performance branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, contemporary sans with a strong superelliptical construction—prioritizing consistency, robustness, and a recognizable tech-industrial silhouette for display and identity work.
Spacing and letterfit present a tight, controlled texture in the sample text, reinforcing the font’s compact, engineered feel. The squared counters and consistent corner treatment create a strong visual identity that remains recognizable even at smaller sizes, though the dense forms favor short headlines and UI labels over long, airy reading settings.
