Sans Superellipse Hanoy 1 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Digital Sans Now' by Elsner+Flake, 'Mercurial' and 'Midsole' by Grype, and 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric sans built from squared, superellipse-like bowls and rounded-rectangle counters, producing a crisp, engineered silhouette. Strokes are heavy and even, with corners consistently softened and terminals typically cut flat, giving the alphabet a modular, hardware-friendly feel. Round letters like O/Q and lowercase o/p/q use squarish interiors, while C/G/S show controlled curvature with squared-off openings. Numerals follow the same system, favoring rectilinear geometry and broad, stable proportions for strong presence.
This face is well suited to bold headlines, logotypes, and packaging where a modern, technical voice is desired. It also fits UI labels, dashboards, and wayfinding/signage that benefit from strong shapes and clear, blocky letterforms, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone reads contemporary and technical, with a sporty, sci‑fi edge. Its rounded-square geometry feels modern and device-like—confident, efficient, and slightly futuristic rather than warm or traditional.
The font appears designed to translate a rounded-rectangle, superelliptic geometry into a cohesive text and display system, prioritizing a contemporary, engineered look with high impact and consistent rhythm. Its construction suggests an aim for clarity and recognizability in tech-forward contexts while keeping the forms compact and controlled.
The design maintains a tight, consistent radius and a disciplined grid logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, which helps text look uniform and purposeful. The lowercase includes single-storey forms (notably a and g) that reinforce the geometric construction and keep the texture compact and direct.
