Sans Superellipse Mifo 8 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Nicomedia' by Artegra, 'Kaisar' by Hazztype, 'ITC Handel Gothic' and 'ITC Handel Gothic Arabic' by ITC, 'Absalon' by Michael Nordstrom Kjaer, 'RBNo3.1' by René Bieder, and 'Crepes' by cretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A rounded, monoline sans with superellipse construction: bowls and counters are built from rounded rectangles with gently squared shoulders. Strokes are thick and even, with broad curves, soft terminals, and minimal modulation. The proportions lean roomy and horizontal, and the spacing is open enough to keep the heavy shapes from clogging, while counters stay fairly rectangular for clarity. Numerals and uppercase forms follow the same softened geometry, giving the set a consistent, grid-ready rhythm.
Well-suited to interface typography, dashboards, and product surfaces where a strong, rounded geometry helps maintain legibility at medium sizes. It also works effectively for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a modern, friendly presence and bold, simplified letterforms.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, with a sturdy, device-friendly feel. Its softened corners and rounded-square forms read as tech-forward rather than formal, balancing a utilitarian voice with a hint of playfulness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric sans optimized for clear, sturdy shapes, using superellipse rounding to soften the voice without losing structure. The consistent stroke weight and rounded-rectangle logic suggest a focus on uniformity, recognizability, and a tech-oriented aesthetic.
Distinctive rounded-rect counters show up across key shapes (e.g., O/0/8 and the lowercase bowls), producing a cohesive “soft industrial” texture. The lowercase includes simplified, single-storey forms that reinforce the geometric, interface-oriented character.
