Sans Superellipse Hakow 5 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Charles Wright' by K-Type, 'Evanston Alehouse' by Kimmy Design, 'B52' by Komet & Flicker, and 'Deciso' by Stefano Giliberti (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric sans built from squared forms with generously rounded corners, producing superellipse-like bowls and apertures. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and curves resolve into crisp, flattened terminals rather than calligraphic endings. The design favors compact proportions and a steady, mechanical rhythm, with wide internal radii and rectangular counters that keep letters open at display sizes. Uppercase forms read sturdy and modular, while lowercase follows the same squared construction, emphasizing clear, simplified silhouettes.
Best suited for headlines and short-form display where the bold, modular shapes can carry personality—such as branding, logotypes, posters, and product packaging. It also fits UI labels, dashboards, and wayfinding-style signage where a compact, squared aesthetic is desired and letterforms need to stay punchy at moderate sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and modern, with a distinctly tech-forward, engineered feel. Its rounded-square geometry evokes interfaces, machinery labeling, and arcade-era digital aesthetics—confident, utilitarian, and slightly retro-futuristic.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, contemporary look rooted in rounded-rect geometry, balancing toughness with approachability. Its consistent construction suggests a focus on systematic forms that feel at home in technology, entertainment, and industrial-themed visual systems.
The rounded corners soften an otherwise angular structure, helping prevent the heavy strokes from feeling harsh. The numeral set matches the same squared, radiused logic, supporting a cohesive voice for mixed alphanumeric settings.
