Sans Superellipse Idkos 8 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Ciutadella Display' by Emtype Foundry and 'Sharp Grotesk Latin', 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean', and 'Sharp Grotesk Thai' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-based sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are thick and even, corners are broadly radiused, and counters are tight, producing dense, high-impact letterforms. Curves tend to resolve into squarish bowls (notably in C, G, O, and S), while joins and terminals are clean and blunt, with occasional angled cuts in diagonals and at the apex of forms like A. The lowercase follows the same chunky logic with short extenders and sturdy, simple silhouettes, and the numerals are wide, compact, and strongly unified by the same rounded-square geometry.
Best suited to headlines, titles, signage, and branding where bold presence and quick recognition matter. It can work well for logos and packaging systems that benefit from compact, rounded geometry, and for sports or event graphics that need a strong, friendly impact.
The overall tone is confident and playful, pairing muscular weight with softened corners for an approachable kind of strength. It reads as energetic and assertive, with a slightly retro, poster-like flavor that feels at home in loud, upbeat messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight while avoiding harshness, using rounded-square curves and blunt terminals to keep the tone approachable. Its consistent geometry suggests a focus on strong display performance and a distinctive, easily repeatable graphic voice.
Because the counters are small and the ink coverage is high, the face favors larger sizes where its superelliptical shapes and interior notches remain clear. The squared-off round forms create a steady rhythm and a distinctly modular texture in words and headlines.
