Sans Superellipse Hogof 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Chamelton' by Alex Khoroshok, 'ATC Harris' by Avondale Type Co., 'Trade Gothic Display' by Monotype, 'Arbeit Technik' by Studio Few, 'Kommon Grotesk' by TypeK, and 'Typewalk Mono 1915' by Typocalypse (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, monospaced sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and broad interior counters that stay open despite the weight. Curves on letters like C, G, O, and S are built from superelliptical arcs, while terminals and joins keep a blunt, engineered feel. The lowercase is compact and functional, with simple forms and short extenders, reinforcing a consistent, grid-friendly rhythm.
Well suited for bold headlines, posters, and branding moments where a blocky, engineered voice is desired. It also fits packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style signage where fixed-width rhythm and high visual mass help create a structured, industrial impression.
The overall tone is tough, no-nonsense, and slightly retro, reminiscent of stamped labeling and early computer/terminal typography. Its chunky geometry reads confident and practical, with a friendly edge coming from the rounded corners.
The design appears intended to merge monospaced utility with a modern superelliptical silhouette, producing a sturdy display face that still feels systematic and legible. The consistent widths and rounded-rectangle curves suggest a focus on grid alignment, impact, and a technical or equipment-like aesthetic.
Numerals are wide and emphatic, matching the same rounded-rectilinear logic as the letters, and punctuation/spacing feel disciplined due to the monospaced cadence. At larger sizes the geometry feels graphic and iconic; in smaller settings the tight apertures and dense color can become dominant, so it works best when you want strong presence.
