Sans Superellipse Akfi 8 is a regular weight, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hudson NY Pro' by Arkitype, 'CA Uruguay' by Cape Arcona Type Foundry, and 'Nulato' by Stefan Stoychev (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving counters and bowls a squarish, structured feel. Terminals are clean and mostly horizontal/vertical, with occasional angled joins (notably in K, V, W, X, Y) that stay crisp without flaring. Uppercase proportions read slightly condensed and blocky, while lowercase forms keep simple, single-storey constructions (a, g) and open apertures; the overall rhythm is steady and engineered rather than calligraphic.
It suits interface typography, product labeling, and wayfinding where a firm, modern presence is desired. The sturdy shapes and consistent stroke weight also work well for headlines, posters, and brand marks that want a technical or industrial flavor without feeling harsh.
The overall tone is contemporary and technical, with a no-nonsense, tool-like character. Its squared-round geometry feels industrial and systematic, suggesting interfaces, machinery labeling, or modern transport graphics rather than editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to translate superellipse geometry into a practical sans for contemporary communication. It prioritizes consistency, clarity, and a distinctive squared-round silhouette that remains recognizable across letters and figures.
Distinctive superelliptical bowls in letters like O, Q, and D create a consistent, modular texture. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic with clear differentiation and stable vertical stress, reinforcing an informational, signage-friendly voice.
