Sans Superellipse Olmay 8 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Vintage Varsity' by Grant Beaudry, 'Treadstone' by Rook Supply, 'Truens' by Seventh Imperium, 'Militarist' by Vozzy, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and a strongly squared internal logic. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing a dense, solid color on the page. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, and counters tend to be squarish and tight, especially in rounded letters like O, C, and G. Terminals are blunt and clean, with simplified joins that keep forms sturdy and highly uniform, creating a mechanical, stamped feel across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and promotional graphics where strong presence and compact width are useful. It also works well for bold labeling, signage, and editorial display settings that want an industrial or sporty voice. For longer passages, the dense counters suggest using generous tracking and leading to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a retro-industrial edge that feels engineered rather than expressive. Its compressed stance and chunky geometry read as confident and commanding, evoking sports graphics, machinery labels, and mid-century display typography.
This design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that balances strict, squared geometry with softened corners to stay approachable. The consistent stroke weight and compact proportions aim to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space while maintaining a cohesive, system-like rhythm.
The numerals and uppercase forms feel especially authoritative due to their compact width and tight counters, while lowercase maintains the same squared, softened-corner vocabulary for consistent texture. The font’s heavy weight and narrow build emphasize vertical rhythm and create strong impact in short bursts of text.
