Sans Superellipse Pymun 8 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Acumin' by Adobe, 'Trade Gothic Next' by Linotype, and 'Nuber Next' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, tightly set sans with tall proportions and minimal stroke modulation. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and terminals, giving counters a squared, superelliptical feel rather than fully circular geometry. Strokes are robust and evenly weighted, with clean, blunt endings and little taper; joins stay crisp and controlled. Spacing is economical, and the overall rhythm is vertical and dense, with uppercase and numerals appearing especially narrow and monoline in texture.
Best suited to short to medium-length settings where space is limited and impact is needed—headlines, posters, packaging labels, wayfinding, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for UI or data-heavy layouts when a condensed, high-contrast-in-scale text color is desirable, though its density may call for generous line spacing in longer passages.
The tone is direct and workmanlike, projecting a modern, engineered voice. Its condensed stance and squared curves read as functional and no-nonsense, with a subtle industrial signage character rather than a friendly or calligraphic warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, using squared, superelliptical rounds to keep forms stable and highly legible at display sizes. Its simplified, monoline construction suggests an emphasis on consistency, reproducibility, and a contemporary utilitarian aesthetic.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably the a and g), reinforcing a simplified, contemporary construction. Numerals are similarly compact and sturdy, matching the blocky curvature and maintaining a consistent, high-impact color in text.
