Sans Superellipse Rakes 8 is a regular weight, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Fairweather' by Dharma Type, 'Grillmaster' by FontMesa, 'CF Blast Gothic' by Fonts.GR, 'Bellfort' by GRIN3 (Nowak), 'Cairoli Classic' and 'Cairoli Now' by Italiantype, and 'Herokid' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, tightly set sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Curves resolve into softly squared corners, giving bowls and counters a compact, engineered feel rather than a purely circular one. Terminals are clean and mostly straight, with minimal flare, and the overall rhythm is vertical and economical, emphasizing height over width. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward structure with compact apertures, while numerals follow the same narrow, linear proportions for consistent texture in text.
Works well for headlines, subheads, UI labels, and navigational text where horizontal space is limited and a clean, contemporary voice is desired. It also suits posters, packaging, and wayfinding systems that benefit from a compact footprint and consistent, monoline texture.
The overall tone is modern and utilitarian, with a restrained, technical crispness. Its narrow stance and squared-round geometry suggest efficiency and clarity, evoking contemporary interfaces, signage, and industrial labeling rather than warmth or calligraphic personality.
The design appears intended to maximize readability and efficiency in constrained widths while maintaining a distinctive squared-round geometry. It prioritizes uniform stroke behavior and a disciplined vertical rhythm to deliver a contemporary, system-friendly sans for editorial and interface contexts.
Because of the condensed proportions, word shapes stack into a dark, even column and spacing becomes a prominent part of legibility. The superelliptical rounding prevents the design from feeling harsh, but the compressed counters and tall capitals create a decidedly compact, information-dense color at display and text sizes.
