Sans Superellipse Jiros 8 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Manufaktur' by Great Scott, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Amboy' by Parkinson, 'Computechnodigitronic' by Typodermic, and 'Acorna' and 'Caviara' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and softened corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, with square-ish counters and frequent right-angle joins that create a modular, engineered feel. Many forms use cut-in notches and rectangular apertures (notably in letters like A, B, D, O, P, Q, R), producing a slightly segmented rhythm without breaking overall continuity. Proportions are compact with sturdy verticals, short terminals, and simplified curves that read as superelliptic rectangles rather than true circles.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, logos, posters, and product marks where its blocky geometry can dominate the layout. It also fits gaming, sci‑fi, and tech-themed visuals, as well as packaging and labels that benefit from an industrial, stamped aesthetic. For long body copy, its dense weight and compact apertures may require generous size and spacing to stay comfortable to read.
The font conveys a bold, machine-made tone—equal parts retro arcade and contemporary tech UI. Its chunky silhouettes and squared openings feel assertive and utilitarian, suggesting control panels, robotics, and industrial labeling. The softened corners keep it friendly enough for playful display work while maintaining a hard-edged, digital attitude.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle construction into a confident display sans, emphasizing modular consistency and strong silhouettes. By using squared counters, notched details, and softened corners, it aims to feel both engineered and approachable, bridging retro digital styling with modern geometric minimalism.
Uppercase and lowercase share a strongly unified construction, with lowercase echoing the same rectangular bowl and notch logic for consistent texture in words. Numerals are similarly boxy and high-impact, with clear segmentation that helps them stand apart at display sizes. The overall color on the page is very dark and attention-grabbing, making spacing and counters key to preserving legibility.
