You could do this with instance chains now and have a Fail case for better errors.

You might be interested in the Sprintf demo Csongor did a while ago, updated here: https://github.com/justinwoo/purescript-safe-printf/tree/compiler/0.12

main :: Effect Unit
main = do
  let formatted = format (SProxy :: SProxy "Hi %s! You are %d") "Bill" 12
  assert $ formatted == "Hi Bill! You are 12"
