Sans Superellipse Otriy 8 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Francker' and 'Francker Paneuropean' by Linotype, 'RBNo3.1' by René Bieder, 'Celdum' by The Northern Block, and 'Sica' by dooType (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric sans with squared, superellipse-like curves and consistently rounded outer corners. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal contrast and a compact, engineered rhythm. Round letters (O, C, G, Q, 0) read as rounded rectangles, while joins and terminals are clean and blunt. Counters are relatively tight and rectangular, and the overall silhouette favors straight sides and softened corners over true circular geometry.
Best suited to display sizes where its dense, squared-round letterforms and strong presence read clearly—such as headlines, branding, posters, and product/packaging typography. It can also work for short UI labels or wayfinding-style text when a technical, robust voice is desired.
The overall tone feels technical and industrial, with a contemporary, machine-made clarity. Its boxy rounded shapes evoke interfaces, hardware labeling, and sci‑fi display aesthetics while staying straightforward and utilitarian rather than decorative.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, engineered look by combining hard geometry with softened corners, creating an approachable but distinctly technical display sans. The consistent superellipse construction and tight counters suggest an emphasis on compact, high-impact typography with a cohesive, systemized feel.
Diagonal forms (V, W, X, Y) are sharp and structured, contrasting with the softened corners elsewhere. The uppercase set is particularly square-shouldered, while the lowercase keeps the same geometric logic with simple, single-storey constructions and uniform stroke behavior. Numerals match the font’s squared-round motif, producing a cohesive, system-like texture.
