Sans Superellipse Luha 8 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Fester' by Fontfabric, 'MVB Diazo' by MVB, 'Core Sans DS' by S-Core, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and soft corners throughout. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense black shapes and sturdy counters. Curves and joins favor smooth, cushiony transitions, while verticals stay straight and firm; diagonals (notably in V, W, X, Y, and K) feel slightly softened rather than razor-sharp. The lowercase is simple and legible with single-storey a and g, a short, rounded ear on r, and a straight, sturdy t; numerals follow the same squarish-round geometry for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and bold UI labels where clarity and personality matter. It can also work for wayfinding or signage that benefits from rounded, friendly forms, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is warm, upbeat, and a bit nostalgic, like mid-century signage updated with a modern, simplified rhythm. Its chunky forms and rounded terminals reduce severity and add a welcoming, “toy-block” friendliness that reads confidently at a glance.
The design intent appears to be a confident display sans that blends high visibility with a soft, approachable personality. By using rounded-rectangle geometry and uniform stroke weight, it aims to deliver strong presence without feeling aggressive, keeping letterforms simple and consistent for reliable, punchy communication.
Spacing appears tuned for impact: letters sit close and build a solid typographic color, while counters remain open enough to prevent clogging at display sizes. The superelliptical bowls (B, D, O, P, Q, 0, 8, 9) create a consistent, architectural pattern that stays steady across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
