Sans Superellipse Hobor 6 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Neue Helvetica' and 'Neue Helvetica Paneuropean' by Linotype, 'Hype Vol 1' by Positype, 'Europa Grotesk No. 2 SB' and 'Europa Grotesk No. 2 SH' by Scangraphic Digital Type Collection, 'NeoGram' and 'Nuber Next' by The Northern Block, and 'Nimbus Sans Novus' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves tend toward superellipse-like bowls (notably in O/C/G and numerals), while straight strokes are broad and uniform, giving a dense, poster-ready texture. Counters are relatively small and apertures are somewhat closed, with terminals cut cleanly and squared off rather than tapered. Overall spacing and proportions feel compact and stable, with a consistent, monoline rhythm across letters and digits.
Best suited to large sizes where its dense weight and compact counters can project strong presence—headlines, posters, bold brand marks, packaging, and short signage copy. It can also work for UI labels or badges when generous spacing and size are used to preserve clarity.
The tone is assertive and confident while remaining approachable due to the rounded geometry. It reads as contemporary and utilitarian, with a sporty, headline-driven energy that suggests impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean, modern sans structure, using rounded-rectangle shapes to balance toughness with friendliness. Consistent stroke weight and simplified details prioritize legibility and strong silhouette in display settings.
Uppercase forms are especially geometric and tightly built, with a sturdy, engineered feel. The lowercase keeps the same blunt, compact voice, and the numerals echo the same rounded-rectangular logic for a unified set.
