Sans Superellipse Hobuv 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Racon' by Ahmet Altun, 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'Military Jr34' by Casloop Studio, and 'Industria Sans' and 'Industria Serif' by Resistenza (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and softened corners throughout. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with tight apertures and largely squared counters that emphasize a compact, engineered silhouette. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls, while joins and terminals stay blunt and trimmed, giving the design a crisp, modular rhythm. Numerals follow the same compact, squared-off construction for strong visual consistency in mixed text and display settings.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, and identity work where impact and compactness are desired. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage systems that benefit from sturdy letterforms and clear, blocky shapes at larger sizes.
The overall tone is tough and no-nonsense, projecting a sporty, industrial confidence. Its compact forms and squared curves feel utilitarian and slightly retro, evoking signage and equipment marking rather than delicate editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and presence through compact, rounded-rectangular forms and blunt terminals. By standardizing curves into squarish superellipse shapes and keeping apertures tight, it prioritizes a strong, industrial display character with consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Round letters tend to read as rounded boxes (notably in bowls and counters), and several characters keep openings narrow, which boosts solidity at large sizes but can reduce openness in smaller text. The lowercase maintains the same sturdy construction, with single-storey forms and minimal modulation that reinforce a unified, mechanical voice.
