Sans Superellipse Higef 12 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Midnight Sans' by Colophon Foundry, 'Korolev' by Device, 'Entropia' by Slava Antipov, and 'Manual' by TypeUnion (names referenced only for comparison).

A dense, heavy sans with condensed proportions and a tight, compact rhythm. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: straights stay rigid and vertical, curves resolve into squarish bowls with softened corners, and counters remain relatively small. Terminals are blunt and flat, joins are sturdy, and the overall texture reads as a solid wall of black at display sizes. The lowercase follows the same compressed logic with a tall x-height and simplified, utilitarian shapes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, signage, and bold brand marks where compact width helps fit more characters per line. It also works well for packaging, badges, and sports or industrial-themed graphics that benefit from dense strokes and sturdy shapes.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, with an industrial clarity that feels made for impact. Its compact width and squared-round shaping give it a sporty, workmanlike attitude—confident, no-nonsense, and visually loud when set in blocks of text.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and space efficiency: condensed, high-ink forms with rounded-rect curves that remain legible in large sizes and hold a consistent, engineered look across letters and figures.
Round letters like O/C and numerals take on superelliptic, rounded-rect contours rather than true circles, creating a distinctive stamped or engineered feel. The Q has a simple, minimal tail, and the overall family of forms stays consistent in corner rounding and stroke density, helping it hold together in all-caps headlines and tight layouts.
