Sans Superellipse Upte 8 is a very bold, very wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Square 721' by Bitstream, 'Midnight Sans' by Colophon Foundry, 'Eurostile LT' by Linotype, 'Logik' by Monotype, 'Bi Bi' by Naghi Naghachian, and 'NeoGram' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with broad proportions and a compact, engineered feel. Strokes are uniform and monolinear, with corners softened into superellipse-like rounds that keep counters boxy rather than circular. Apertures are generally tight and the internal spaces read as squared and efficient, while terminals end cleanly with minimal modulation. The rhythm is steady and dense, and the overall silhouette favors sturdy horizontal and vertical structure over calligraphic nuance.
Best suited to large sizes where its dense shapes and rounded-square geometry can read clearly: headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It also works well for short UI labels, signage, and sports or tech-forward identity systems where a sturdy, compact texture is desirable.
The tone is assertive and contemporary, projecting strength and clarity with a slightly futuristic, utilitarian edge. Its softened corners add approachability, but the mass and width keep the voice confident and bold, echoing sports branding, tech hardware, and industrial signage.
The design appears intended to combine an industrial, block-like build with softened corners for a friendlier, contemporary finish. By keeping stroke weight steady and counters squared, it emphasizes impact, reproducibility, and a consistent geometric voice across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Round letters such as O and Q lean toward a rounded-square construction with a rectangular counter, reinforcing the geometric system. The lowercase shows single-storey shapes (notably a and g) that match the squared, softened motif and help maintain a consistent, modern texture in text.
