Sans Superellipse Humaz 8 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Dexa Pro' by Artegra, 'Peridot Latin' and 'Peridot PE' by Foundry5, 'MC Harben' by Maulana Creative, and 'Otoiwo Grotesk' by Pepper Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with tight counters and minimal internal whitespace, giving letters a dense, ink-trap-free silhouette. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls (notably in C, O, Q, and 0), while joins and terminals stay squared-off but eased, creating a consistent chunky rhythm. The lowercase is simplified and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g, a small-shouldered r, and a short crossbar on t; numerals share the same broad, compact proportions.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, bold branding locks-ups, packaging panels, and punchy signage. It can also work for UI labels or badges when strong emphasis is needed, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is loud and confident, with a slightly toy-like softness from the rounded corners balancing the mass and compression. It reads as contemporary and utilitarian, but with enough friendliness to feel approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a compact footprint, combining blunt geometric forms with rounded corners for a friendlier, more contemporary texture. Its consistent, superelliptical curves and sturdy lowercase suggest a focus on legibility at display sizes while maintaining a distinctive, chunky voice.
Large apertures are generally restrained and counters are tight, so the font gains presence quickly as size increases. The heavy weight and compact shapes emphasize word-shape blocks, making spacing and line length feel dense in paragraph-like settings.
