Sans Superellipse Hagof 1 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Nicomedia' by Artegra, 'Plasma' by Corradine Fonts, 'Francker' by Linotype, 'Absalon' by Michael Nordstrom Kjaer, 'Olney' by Philatype, and 'RBNo3.1' by René Bieder (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms with softened corners and largely uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into squared bowls and counters, giving letters like O, D, and U a boxy, engineered feel. Terminals are predominantly flat and orthogonal, and apertures tend to be relatively closed, producing dense, sturdy silhouettes. The rhythm is steady and compact, with a consistent cap height and a solid, even texture in text despite some natural width variation across glyphs.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short blocks of copy where its compact, blocky shapes can deliver impact. It also fits product branding, sports or esports visuals, packaging, and interface moments where a sturdy, technical tone is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, with a technical, utilitarian character. Its rounded-square geometry reads as modern and engineered rather than friendly or calligraphic, evoking sports branding, hardware, and digital interfaces.
The design appears intended to merge the efficiency of a geometric grotesque with rounded-rectangle construction for a distinctive, engineered silhouette. It prioritizes punchy presence, consistent texture, and clear sign-like forms over delicate detailing.
Numerals and capitals appear especially strong and sign-like, with counters that stay open enough to remain recognizable at display sizes. The lowercase retains the same squared, softened construction, keeping a cohesive voice between headline and short-text settings.
