Sans Superellipse Filel 8 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Nicomedia' by Artegra, 'Gltp Starion' by Glowtype, 'Absalon' by Michael Nordstrom Kjaer, and 'Geon' and 'Geon Soft' by cretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, oblique sans with softened, superellipse-like curves and squared-off rounds that read as rounded rectangles rather than pure circles. Strokes are thick and uniform, with tight internal counters and compact apertures that keep the silhouette dense and punchy. Terminals are broadly rounded, corners are consistently radiused, and diagonals (as in A, K, V, W, X) feel engineered and slightly compressed for a fast, forward-leaning rhythm. Numerals share the same blocky rounding and sturdy proportions, maintaining a cohesive, high-impact texture in setting.
Best suited to display use such as headlines, brand marks, posters, packaging, and sports or performance-themed graphics where speed and impact are priorities. It also works well for short UI labels or signage when a compact, high-visibility, modern look is desired.
The overall tone is athletic and modern, with a motorsport/arcade energy that feels fast and assertive. Its softened corners add approachability, while the dense shapes and slanted stance keep the voice bold, competitive, and contemporary.
This design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, speed-oriented voice using a rounded-rect geometry that stays sturdy at large sizes. The consistent corner rounding and dense counters suggest a focus on cohesive silhouettes for branding and bold display typography.
In the sample text, the strong slant and weight create a continuous, dark typographic color with minimal sparkle, emphasizing momentum over delicacy. The rounded-square construction is especially evident in O/0-like forms and in the way bowls and counters stay squarish under heavy weight.
