Sans Superellipse Iffa 8 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Expedition' by Aerotype, 'Quayzaar' by Test Pilot Collective, and 'Architype Aubette' by The Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle bowls, giving counters and outer shapes a superelliptical feel. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and terminals are predominantly flat or softly radiused rather than tapered. The design favors compact apertures, sturdy joins, and wide internal spacing where needed to keep counters open at large sizes. Uppercase forms read as modular blocks, while the lowercase keeps a tall, simplified structure with single-storey shapes and clean, engineered curves.
Best suited for display roles where impact and clarity matter: headlines, packaging, posters, identity marks, and bold interface labels. The chunky geometry and squared curves also fit gaming, tech, and sports contexts where a strong, engineered voice is desirable. It can work in short text bursts, but its dense color makes it most effective at larger sizes and with generous tracking.
The overall tone is bold and synthetic, with a distinctly tech-forward, arcade-like energy. Its rounded-square geometry feels industrial and functional rather than friendly, projecting strength, speed, and a slightly retro-futurist attitude. The rhythm is punchy and assertive, lending itself to loud, attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a cohesive, high-impact sans that stays legible while looking distinctly constructed. By simplifying curves and tightening apertures, it aims to deliver a confident, modern voice with hints of retro digital signage and arcade typography.
Round letters (like O/Q) lean toward squarish ovals, and several forms emphasize notch-like cuts and rectangular counters, reinforcing a constructed, modular aesthetic. Numerals follow the same blocky geometry, designed to stay legible and consistent alongside the caps. The texture in paragraphs is dense and even, with strong presence and minimal delicacy.
