Sans Superellipse Gidis 8 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Proto Sans' by ABSTRKT, 'Liquorstore Bold & Bolder' by Chank, and 'Acorna' and 'Caviara' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, blocky sans built from rounded-rectangle forms, with square counters softened by consistently radiused corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing a strong silhouette and minimal internal whitespace, especially in letters like B, P, R, and the lowercase. Curves are largely superelliptical rather than circular, and joins stay clean and orthogonal, giving the design a structured, modular rhythm. The lowercase closely follows the uppercase construction, with compact apertures and a sturdy, engineered feel; figures echo the same rounded-square geometry for a cohesive set.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as posters, headlines, logos, and packaging where a bold, engineered look is desirable. It also works well for sports or gaming-style branding, signage, and short UI labels when set at larger sizes with comfortable tracking.
The overall tone is assertive and mechanical, combining retro display energy with a contemporary, tech-forward edge. Its rounded corners keep it friendly enough for branding, but the tight counters and squared geometry read as industrial and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-contrast silhouette built from rounded-rectangle primitives, prioritizing punchy recognition and a consistent geometric system across the character set.
Because counters and apertures are relatively small, the face reads best when given adequate size and spacing, where the rounded-square details and distinctive, modular shapes stay crisp and legible. The design maintains a consistent visual logic across letters and numerals, emphasizing uniformity and impact over delicacy.
