Sans Superellipse Ipji 8 is a very bold, very wide, medium contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATC Duel' by Avondale Type Co., '1312 Sugoi' by Ezequiel Filoni, 'Muller Next' by Fontfabric, and 'Heading Now' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, right-slanted sans with broad, compact forms and rounded-rectangle geometry throughout. Counters tend to be small and tightly enclosed, creating a dense, high-impact texture, while curves resolve into smooth superellipse-like bowls rather than true circles. Stroke endings are clean and abrupt with subtly softened corners, and the italics are constructed as a shear that keeps shapes muscular and stable rather than calligraphic. Overall spacing and rhythm favor solid black mass, with a slightly compressed feel inside letters that emphasizes solidity at display sizes.
Best suited to bold display work such as sports and fitness branding, team or event identities, punchy poster headlines, and high-contrast packaging panels where impact matters more than fine detail. It can also work for logo wordmarks and short slogans, especially when you want a sense of speed and strength. For longer passages, its dense counters and heavy texture will be more fatiguing, so it’s strongest in short bursts.
The font reads loud, fast, and confident, with a sporty, competition-ready attitude. Its rounded but forceful shapes give it a retro-leaning, arcade-and-athletics tone while still feeling modern and engineered. The strong slant adds motion and urgency, making lines of text feel like they are pushing forward.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a sense of motion: a wide, rounded, engineered sans that stays cohesive under extreme weight. Its superellipse curves and compact counters suggest a focus on strong silhouettes, consistent black coverage, and an energetic, forward-leaning voice for display typography.
Round letters like O/C/G show distinctly squarish curves, reinforcing the superellipse construction. The lowercase is single-storey where applicable (notably a and g), and the numeral set appears similarly wide and weighty, matching the overall chunky silhouette. At smaller sizes the tight counters and dense weight will reduce interior clarity, so it benefits from generous size and breathing room.
