Sans Superellipse Gidez 8 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Ft Thyson' by Fateh.Lab, 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type, 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive, and 'Manual' and 'Project Sans' by TypeUnion (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from squarish, rounded-rectangle forms. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a boxed, superellipse feel (notably in O/0 and rounded letters). Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and many joins are blunt and planar, creating a sturdy, blocky texture. Counters are relatively tight and often squared, while terminals are mostly flat-cut; several glyphs show angular cut-ins and notches that add a slightly mechanical, engineered rhythm. Numerals share the same compact, robust construction, with simplified interior shapes and strong, poster-friendly silhouettes.
Best suited to large-scale display work such as posters, headlines, logos, and attention-grabbing branding. It can also work well for sports identity systems, product packaging, and UI moments that need strong emphasis, where its blocky geometry and dense weight maintain clarity.
The overall tone is bold, utilitarian, and energetic—more “equipment label” than “book text.” Its squared geometry and dense blackness read as athletic and industrial, with a contemporary, tech-forward edge that feels at home in signage, gaming, or product branding.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, rounded-rect silhouette—combining friendly corners with hard-edged structure. The notched, squared counters suggest a deliberate move toward a rugged, engineered aesthetic that stays highly legible at display sizes.
In text settings the tight apertures and compact counters create a dark, assertive color that rewards generous tracking and larger sizes. The squared curves and notched details give the face a distinctive voice that remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
