Sans Superellipse Higaj 8 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, and 'Neue Plak' and 'Neue Plak Display' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with a condensed stance and strongly simplified, geometric construction. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true circles. Strokes stay uniform with minimal modulation, terminals are mostly flat, and joins are tight, creating dense, high-impact letterforms. Openings are relatively restrained and counters are small for the weight, contributing to a solid, poster-forward texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short, prominent text where dense color and strong presence are an advantage—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and bold signage. It can work in brief subheads or callouts, but the tight apertures and heavy weight suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a compressed rhythm that reads as modern, industrial, and slightly athletic. Its square-rounded geometry adds a friendly edge, but the dominant impression remains direct and commanding.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using a square-rounded geometric language to stay contemporary and cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Uppercase forms feel particularly condensed and vertical, while the lowercase retains simple, sturdy shapes that keep word images compact. Numerals match the same blocky, rounded-rect geometry for a consistent voice across alphanumerics.
