Sans Superellipse Fokes 8 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Miura' by DSType, 'Certo Sans' and 'Noli' by Monotype, 'Obvia' by Typefolio, and 'Aircrew' by Vanarchiv (names referenced only for comparison).

A very heavy, forward-slanted sans with rounded-rectangle construction and generous corner radii throughout. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with flattened terminals and squared-off joins that emphasize a compact, engineered silhouette. Counters tend toward squarish apertures, and the overall rhythm is tight and punchy, with broad, stable capitals and slightly more condensed-feeling lowercase that keeps word shapes cohesive at display sizes. Numerals follow the same superelliptical logic, with boxy bowls and consistent stroke presence.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and other short-to-medium display settings where a dense, italic, high-impact voice is desired. It can work well for sports and fitness graphics, tech product lockups, packaging callouts, and promotional materials where bold shapes and fast motion cues help messages land quickly.
The tone is bold and energetic, reading as sporty and performance-driven with a contemporary, tech-forward edge. Its rounded geometry softens the mass, while the italic slant adds speed and motion, making it feel confident and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to combine maximum impact with a distinctive rounded-rect geometry, creating a strong display italic that feels both contemporary and functional. Its consistent curvature and sturdy forms suggest an emphasis on clarity at large sizes and a recognizable, branded texture in motion-oriented layouts.
Curved letters like C, G, O, and Q show strongly squared curves, giving the design a distinctive “rounded-square” texture in both glyphs and counters. The heavy weight and tight internal spaces suggest it will hold up best with ample size and breathing room, especially in longer lines of text.
