Sans Superellipse Hubuz 8 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Dean Gothic' by Blaze Type, 'Midnight Sans' by Colophon Foundry, 'Cord Nuvo' by Designova, and 'Kurdis' by That That Creative (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with a distinctly superelliptical construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles, and curves transition with tight, squared-off radii rather than fully circular geometry. Strokes are consistently thick with subtle modulation at joins, producing sturdy silhouettes and compact internal spaces. Uppercase forms are tall and straight-sided, while round letters like O/C/G stay narrow and vertically emphasized. The lowercase follows the same blocky logic, with a two-storey a, single-storey g, and a compact, utilitarian rhythm; numerals are similarly tall and tightly fit with strong, even weight.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where compact width and strong color help maximize impact in limited space. It also fits signage, branding marks, and packaging systems that benefit from an engineered, condensed voice. For longer passages, generous tracking and larger sizes will help preserve clarity due to the tight counters.
The overall tone is assertive and functional, with a compressed, high-impact presence that feels industrial and no-nonsense. Its squared-round forms add a modern, engineered character—more signage and packaging than editorial elegance.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum emphasis in a narrow footprint, pairing superelliptical curves with firm vertical structure to create a modern, industrial display sans. Its consistent, blocky geometry suggests an intention toward bold, space-efficient typography that remains visually orderly across letters and numerals.
Apertures and counters are relatively tight for the weight, which increases density and punch at display sizes. The design’s straight verticals and controlled rounding create a consistent, modular texture, especially noticeable across repeated stems and the rectangular shaping of bowls.
