Sans Superellipse Hubom 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Hudson NY Pro' by Arkitype, 'Korolev' by Device, 'Hype vol 3' by Positype, 'Nulato' by Stefan Stoychev, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry throughout. Curves resolve into broad, squared-off rounds, and terminals are largely blunt, creating a dense, even color in text. Counters are relatively tight and often rectangular or softly squared, while joins stay clean and straightforward. Proportions favor a large x-height with short ascenders/descenders and minimal stroke modulation, yielding strong, consistent silhouettes across letters and numerals.
Best suited to display sizes where its mass and compact counters can deliver impact—headlines, posters, bold branding, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or signage where a strong, simplified silhouette helps quick recognition, but it will be most comfortable when given ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is forceful and functional, with a no-nonsense presence that feels industrial and direct. Its squared-round forms read modern and engineered rather than friendly or calligraphic, giving it a confident, poster-ready voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual strength with a controlled, geometric personality—favoring superelliptical rounding and blunt terminals to create a contemporary, utilitarian display sans that holds together tightly in bold text.
In all-caps settings the forms feel especially compact and uniform, producing a strong wall-of-type effect. Numerals and uppercase shapes maintain the same squared-round logic, supporting a consistent, system-like look across mixed content.
