Sans Superellipse Ibkaf 8 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Akwe Pro' by ROHH, 'Jasan' by Storm Type Foundry, 'Ansage' by Sudtipos, and 'Eastman Condensed' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with a superelliptical construction: curves feel like softened rectangles rather than perfect circles, giving counters a squarish, pillow-like geometry. Strokes are thick and steady with minimal modulation, and terminals are blunt with softened corners. Uppercase shapes read compact and sturdy, while lowercase forms are large and simplified, with single-storey construction where applicable and tightly enclosed counters. The overall rhythm is dense and blocky, with small apertures and strong interior negative shapes that emphasize a solid, poster-like texture.
Best suited for short, bold messaging such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, badges, and logo wordmarks where a dense, rounded silhouette helps text pop. It also works well for playful branding and display settings that benefit from a friendly, chunky presence rather than refined editorial typography.
The font communicates a bold, upbeat personality—approachable and slightly cheeky rather than formal. Its rounded-rect geometry and dense color suggest a retro display tone with a friendly, cartoon-adjacent warmth, making it feel energetic and attention-seeking without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a soft, approachable outline—combining sturdy, compact forms with rounded-rectangle curves to create a memorable, characterful display voice.
Many letters show subtly asymmetric, hand-tuned curves and joins that keep the shapes from feeling purely geometric. The numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, sign-like sturdiness, and the type creates a strong “inked” silhouette that holds up well as large, impactful text.
