Sans Superellipse Upfa 8 is a very bold, very wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Miura' by DSType, 'Bantat' by Jipatype, 'Eurostile Candy' by Linotype, and 'Snasm' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like shapes. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals tend to be flat or softly squared, producing a sturdy, blocky silhouette. Curves are controlled and boxy rather than circular, with generous corner rounding and compact internal counters. Proportions read horizontally expanded, and spacing feels deliberate and even, keeping large text stable and uniform.
Best suited to display typography where impact and clarity are priorities—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and sports or tech-oriented graphics. It can also work for short interface labels or signage when a bold, modern presence is desired, though its dense shapes may be less comfortable for extended reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, with a tech-forward, engineered feel. Its squared curves and dense black presence suggest performance, machinery, and digital interfaces more than editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a clean, contemporary voice, using rounded-rect geometry to balance friendliness with an industrial, engineered structure.
Several forms emphasize squarish bowls and rounded corners (notably in O/Q/0 and B/P/R), reinforcing a modular, UI-like rhythm. The numerals match the alphabet’s blunt geometry, and the sample text shows strong word-shape consistency at display sizes.
