Sans Superellipse Hudoy 5 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hubba' by Green Type, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Lekra SS' by Sensatype Studio, 'Goodland' by Swell Type, and 'Robson' by TypeUnion (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry and tight internal counters. Strokes maintain an even thickness with squared terminals softened by consistent corner rounding, producing a sturdy, machined silhouette. Apertures are often narrow, and several forms use vertical cut-ins or slit-like counters that read as quasi-stencil details, especially in letters with interior openings. Overall spacing and proportions emphasize a dense, high-impact texture that stays crisp and rectilinear while avoiding sharp corners.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, branding marks, product packaging, and bold signage where its dense forms and distinctive cut-ins can read clearly. It also works well for titles in tech, industrial, or retro-futuristic contexts where a strong, compact rhythm is desirable.
The font conveys an industrial, retro-tech attitude—confident and utilitarian, with a hint of sci‑fi signage. Its dense shapes and engineered cutouts feel mechanical and deliberate rather than playful, projecting strength and immediacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectilinear construction and controlled stencil-like counters to create a distinctive, engineered voice.
Numerals and capitals are particularly strong and poster-ready, with rounded-corner squareness that keeps the design cohesive across the set. The narrow apertures and compact counters create a dark typographic color, so it performs best when given breathing room in layout.
