Sans Superellipse Gykav 8 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Sixta' by Hoftype, 'Moire' by Microsoft Corporation, 'Ordina' by Schriftlabor, and 'Cobe' by Stawix (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with a distinctly squared-off, superellipse construction: curves feel like softened rectangles rather than pure circles. Strokes are consistently thick and even, with broad bowls and compact interior counters that create a dense, poster-like texture. Terminals tend to be blunt and clean, corners are generously radiused, and the overall silhouette reads wide and stable. The lowercase maintains clear, straightforward forms (single-storey a and g), while numerals are robust and highly legible, matching the same rounded-rectangle logic.
Best suited to display typography where impact and clarity matter: headlines, hero text, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation at larger sizes where the dense counters remain open enough to read cleanly.
The font projects a bold, approachable energy—confident and contemporary without feeling sharp or aggressive. Its softened corners and chunky proportions add a friendly, slightly playful tone that still reads practical and direct.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a soft-edged geometric voice—combining sturdy, billboard-like presence with rounded comfort for contemporary branding and attention-grabbing editorial use.
Large apertures are generally tightened by the heavy weight, so letterforms cluster into strong word-shapes at display sizes. The rounded geometry stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving it a cohesive, branded feel.
