Sans Superellipse Gebez 8 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Sans Beam' by Stawix, 'Corbert Compact' by The Northern Block, 'Calps Sans' by Typesketchbook, and 'Probeta' by deFharo (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, tightly set sans with a strong forward slant and heavy, low-contrast strokes. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing blunt terminals, soft corners, and oval/superelliptic counters that stay open at display sizes. Curves are sturdy and simplified, while diagonals and joins feel engineered and slightly compressed, giving the whole design a dense, punchy texture. Numerals share the same rounded, blocky construction, with clear, wide apertures and a consistent, athletic rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, sports and esports branding, and bold packaging where a condensed, kinetic sans can carry the message quickly. It also works well for short UI headers or promo graphics where you want a compact footprint with strong emphasis, rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary, with a competitive, high-impact voice. Its slanted stance and compact massing suggest motion and urgency, making it feel assertive and attention-grabbing rather than refined or understated.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining rounded-rectangle construction with an oblique stance for a sense of speed. The consistent, simplified geometry suggests an emphasis on branding clarity and reproducible display performance across sizes and media.
The design maintains a consistent rounded-square theme across bowls, shoulders, and counters, which helps it read as cohesive even in mixed-case text. Because the shapes are dense and the spacing appears tight, it visually “locks up” well in short phrases and headlines where impact matters most.
