Sans Superellipse Hiras 7 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Akkordeon' by Emtype Foundry, 'CF Blast Gothic' by Fonts.GR, 'Helvetica' by Linotype, 'CG Triumvirate' by Monotype, 'PF Fusion Sans Pro' by Parachute, and 'Maleo' by Tokotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with compact proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes rather than fully circular bowls, giving counters a tight, superelliptical feel. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off with slightly softened corners; apertures stay relatively closed, and internal spaces are small, boosting density in text. Numerals follow the same condensed, blocky construction, and round characters like O/Q/0 read as tall ovals with rounded corners.
Best suited to display settings where space is limited and impact is needed—posters, bold headlines, cover lines, signage, and packaging. It can also work for badges, labels, and condensed wordmarks where a tall, compact silhouette helps fit longer names.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a compressed “loud” presence that reads as direct and no-nonsense. Its dense color and squared-round geometry evoke industrial labeling and high-impact sports or editorial display, leaning more functional than friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a narrow footprint, combining heavy strokes with rounded-rectangle curves for a modern, industrial feel. It prioritizes dense, high-contrast-to-background letterforms that stay cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals in attention-grabbing layouts.
In the sample text, the tight counters and compressed width create a very dark texture, especially in mixed-case lines where adjacent stems form strong vertical banding. The rounded corners keep the weight from feeling brittle, but the compact internal spaces may require generous tracking and larger sizes for long passages.
