Sans Superellipse Kuhy 9 is a very bold, very wide, low contrast, upright, short x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Memory Square' by Beware of the moose and 'HK Modular' by Hanken Design Co. (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, modular sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with broad proportions and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and chunky, with generous internal rounding and small, pill-shaped counters that repeat across letters and numerals. Curves resolve into squared, tube-like turns rather than true circular bowls, creating a distinctly boxy rhythm. Terminals are blunt and rounded, and diagonals (as in K, N, V, W, X) are simplified into sturdy, rounded joins. Overall spacing feels even and mechanical, supporting a grid-like, engineered texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where its chunky geometry can read clearly—headlines, branding marks, posters, and packaging. It also fits interface theming for games, sci‑fi or retro-tech visuals, and short callouts where a strong, stylized voice is desired rather than long-form text.
The font conveys a retro-futuristic, gadget-like tone—part arcade display, part sci‑fi interface. Its rounded modules keep the mood friendly and playful while the rigid geometry reads technical and synthetic. The overall impression is bold, confident, and slightly toy-like, with a strong digital-era personality.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rect, grid-based construction into a cohesive alphabet with a distinctly techno flavor. By prioritizing consistent modules, soft corners, and uniform stroke weight, it aims for a highly recognizable silhouette and a strong, contemporary-retro display presence.
Distinctive internal cutouts and notched joins add character and help separate similar shapes, though the tightly shaped counters can make small sizes feel dense. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic for a cohesive alphanumeric set, and the punctuation shown matches the soft, tubular construction.
