Sans Superellipse Hurin 8 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Acumin' by Adobe, 'FF Good' by FontFont, 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type, and 'Azbuka' and 'Prelo Condensed' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with squared-off curves and softened corners, giving many forms a superellipse/rounded-rectangle skeleton. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, and counters tend to be tight and compact, producing dense, high-impact words. Uppercase shapes are broad and stable with flat terminals; round letters like O and Q read as squarish ovals, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are cut cleanly and feel engineered. The lowercase is similarly robust, with a single-storey a and g, a short-armed t, and simple, vertical i/j dots; numerals are bold and blocky with open, legible interior spaces where possible.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold brand statements where its dense weight and rounded geometry can carry visual authority. It also works well for signage and packaging that benefit from sturdy, friendly legibility, especially when set with ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is confident and no-nonsense, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded geometry rather than from calligraphic detail. It feels contemporary and workmanlike—more about clear impact than delicacy—making it read as assertive, approachable, and slightly industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, soft-cornered construction—combining the firmness of blocky forms with the approachability of rounded terminals. It prioritizes strong silhouette recognition and a consistent, modern rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep the thick strokes from clogging in text, though the compact counters mean it will look darkest at smaller sizes. The design’s rounded-rectangular rhythm stays consistent across letters and figures, creating a cohesive, logo-ready texture.
