Sans Superellipse Giros 8 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Chamelton' by Alex Khoroshok, 'Chortler' by FansyType, 'Doris' by Fontsphere, and 'Conthey' by ROHH (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptical construction: straight stems terminate in large radiused corners, and curves read as rounded-rectangle bowls rather than perfect circles. The stroke weight is broadly uniform, with tight internal counters and compact joins that create dense, sturdy silhouettes. Letterforms are simple and geometric, with a tall, rectangular U-shape in capitals, a single-storey a, and a single-storey g with a broad bowl and short ear. Numerals are equally stout and smooth, maintaining the same soft-cornered geometry and closed, compact apertures.
This font is best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where its soft, bold shapes can carry personality—posters, packaging, product branding, and punchy wordmarks. It can also work for large UI labels or signage where a friendly, high-impact look is desired, provided sizes are kept large enough to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is warm and upbeat, leaning toward a 1970s/soft-modern feel rather than a sharp technical voice. Its bulbous terminals and chunky rhythm give it a friendly, poster-like personality that feels casual and inviting.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft, approachable edge—combining geometric structure with rounded-rectangle curves for a confident, contemporary-retro display voice.
Spacing appears generous enough for display use, but the tight counters and heavy joins can darken text color in longer passages. The design stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing rounded corners and simplified, geometric shapes.
