Sans Superellipse Temot 8 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Newhouse DT' by DTP Types, 'Tungsten' by Hoefler & Co., and 'Athletic Condensed' and 'Athletic Pro' by Mandarin (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and heavy, even stroke weight. Curves are squarish and softened at the corners, giving counters a superelliptical feel; bowls and apertures stay tight, and interior spaces are small relative to the stems. Edges show subtle irregularity and slight narrowing at joins, producing a mildly distressed, ink-trap-like texture without true contrast. Overall spacing is snug and the rhythm is vertical and punchy, optimized for impact at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where density and impact matter—posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, packaging, and bold wordmarks. It can work for subheads and callouts, but the tight counters and rugged texture favor larger sizes over long passages.
The face projects a tough, utilitarian tone with a vintage, printed-signage character. Its softened geometry keeps it approachable while the compressed proportions and dark color create an assertive, attention-grabbing voice reminiscent of industrial labels and mid-century posters.
Likely designed to deliver a high-impact, space-saving display voice built from rounded-rectilinear shapes, balancing strict geometry with a slightly worn print texture. The goal appears to be strong legibility at a distance with a distinctive industrial personality.
Uppercase forms are straightforward and monoline, while lowercase remains simple and sturdy with compact bowls and short extenders. Numerals follow the same condensed, blocky logic, maintaining consistent weight and corner rounding for a cohesive set.
