Sans Superellipse Gykek 8 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Nicomedia' by Artegra, 'FX Ambasans' by Differentialtype, 'Lustra Text' by Grype, 'ITC Handel Gothic Arabic' by ITC, 'Absalon' by Michael Nordstrom Kjaer, and 'Olney' by Philatype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, squared sans with generous rounded-rectangle corners and broadly uniform stroke thickness. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and counters, producing boxy interior spaces (notably in O/0/8/9) and a strong horizontal–vertical emphasis. Diagonals are clean and sturdy, and many terminals end in flat cuts with softened corners, giving a machined, modular feel. Spacing appears designed for impact: the glyphs hold wide silhouettes with tight, stable apertures, maintaining consistent visual weight across letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, branding marks, and short emphatic text where its blocky geometry and dense color can carry the design. It also fits UI labels, signage, packaging, and sports or tech-themed posters where a sturdy, engineered voice is desirable. For long-form reading, it’s likely most comfortable when used sparingly or at larger sizes due to its strong, compact shapes.
The overall tone is assertive and engineered, with a contemporary, tech-forward flavor. Its rounded-square geometry reads modern and sporty, evoking equipment labeling, sci‑fi interfaces, and performance branding rather than editorial warmth. The bold, compact forms project confidence and durability.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rectangle, industrial geometry into an attention-grabbing display sans. It prioritizes bold presence, consistent mass, and a modular silhouette that remains legible and distinctive in high-impact applications.
Several forms lean toward squarish construction (C, G, S, and the digit set), and the squarish counters help the font stay crisp at display sizes. The lowercase shares the same blocky geometry as the caps, reinforcing a unified, utilitarian rhythm in text settings.
