Sans Superellipse Utgat 8 is a bold, very wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Fordek' by Isolatype, 'Belle Sans' by Park Street Studio, 'Etelka' by Storm Type Foundry, and 'Allumi Std' by Typofonderie (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with a squared-round (superellipse) construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform with minimal contrast, producing a dense, blocky texture. Counters tend to be rounded-rectangular and fairly open for the weight, while curves resolve into short flats that give the forms a machined, modular feel. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean; the overall rhythm is steady and monolinear with a slightly condensed sense of internal space despite the broad proportions.
Best suited for display roles where strong presence is desirable—headlines, branding, signage, posters, and packaging. It can also work for interface labels and short UI strings where a sturdy, modern voice is needed, while longer text benefits from generous size and spacing.
The tone reads contemporary and utilitarian, with a friendly edge from the rounded corners. It suggests tech and product design—confident, robust, and straightforward—without feeling aggressive or sharp. The wide stance and solid color make it feel assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to merge geometric clarity with a softened, contemporary silhouette: a pragmatic sans built around superelliptical geometry for a modern, product-oriented look that remains approachable.
In text, the strong mass and broad proportions create high impact but can build visual density in longer passages, especially at smaller sizes. The numeral set matches the same squared-round logic, and round letters maintain a consistent superelliptical silhouette for a cohesive system.
