Sans Superellipse Humel 8 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Boldine' by Fateh.Lab, 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type, 'Classroom JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'PF DIN Text' by Parachute, 'Fatso' by T-26, and 'Sugo Pro' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavyweight sans with rounded-rectangle construction and squared curves throughout. Counters are small and tightly enclosed, with broad vertical stems and minimal stroke modulation that keeps color even across words. Curves (C, O, S, 0) are built like softened boxes rather than true circles, while joins and terminals stay blunt and sturdy. The lowercase is similarly compact, with simple, single-storey forms and short ascenders/descenders that emphasize a dense, poster-like rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short statements where strong weight and compact width help fit more characters per line without losing punch. It works well for sports and team graphics, bold branding lockups, packaging labels, and attention-grabbing signage where a solid, blocky presence is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and practical, leaning toward industrial and athletic messaging rather than refined editorial use. Its chunky, squared-round shapes read as confident and slightly retro, with a no-nonsense presence that feels built for impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to stay friendly enough while remaining tough and utilitarian. It prioritizes bold silhouette, uniform texture, and sturdy letterforms that hold up in large display settings.
In the sample text, the tight counters and dense spacing create strong texture at large sizes; at smaller sizes the enclosed apertures may begin to close up in letters like a/e/s and figures like 8/9. The numerals match the same squared-round logic, keeping a consistent, sturdy voice across alphanumerics.
