Sans Superellipse Tyri 8 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Knockout' by Hoefler & Co., 'Neue Helvetica' by Linotype, 'Classic Grotesque' by Monotype, and 'Punkfarm' by PizzaDude.dk (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, condensed sans with thick, rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are mostly monolinear with slight, organic irregularities that create a hand-cut or inked texture rather than a strictly geometric finish. Counters are small and rounded, terminals are blunt, and curves (notably in C, G, O, S) feel squarish and superelliptical. The rhythm is lively, with subtle inconsistencies in width and stroke edges that add personality while keeping forms broadly consistent across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, label and packaging typography, and punchy logo wordmarks where its dense color and playful irregularity can be a feature. It can also work for bold captions or social graphics when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a slightly mischievous, handmade character. Its condensed footprint and chunky shapes read as energetic and informal, leaning toward a crafty, poster-like voice rather than corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-ink display voice built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with deliberate hand-rendered unevenness to avoid a sterile geometric feel. It prioritizes personality and visual punch over fine-detail readability at small sizes.
Uppercase forms are tall and compact, while lowercase keeps a simple, sturdy structure; the dotted i/j use round, heavy dots that reinforce the soft geometry. Numerals match the same compact, rounded-rect style, producing a cohesive texture in mixed text. In longer lines the tight interior spaces and heavy color create a strong, dark typographic block that benefits from generous size and spacing.
