Sans Superellipse Akfe 8 is a regular weight, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Diamante EF' by Elsner+Flake, 'Diamante Serial' by SoftMaker, 'TS Diamante' by TypeShop Collection, and 'Manifest' by Yasin Yalcin (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, squared sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are monolinear with crisp terminals, producing a clean, engineered rhythm across text. Counters tend toward rectangular apertures, and curves are largely built from superellipse-like bends rather than fully circular bowls. Uppercase forms are tall and streamlined, while lowercase keeps simple, upright structures with single-storey a and g and a distinctly squared, open-shouldered r. Numerals follow the same boxy logic, with narrow, vertical proportions and rounded corners that keep them cohesive with the letters.
Works well for condensed headlines, short blocks of display text, wayfinding-style signage, and packaging where space efficiency and high contrast against backgrounds matter. The straightforward shapes also suit UI labels and dashboards, especially when a technical or industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone is pragmatic and mechanical, suggesting signage, equipment labeling, and modern interface typography. Its squared geometry reads confident and no-nonsense, with a subtle retro-industrial flavor that feels at home in technical contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, engineered sans that stays legible while projecting a modern, industrial identity. Its rounded-rectangle construction aims to balance strict geometry with enough softness for comfortable reading in display and interface settings.
Many glyphs emphasize verticality and tight internal spacing, creating a dense texture in paragraphs. Diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X, Y) are sharp and energetic, contrasting with the softened corners elsewhere and adding a slightly rugged, functional character.
