Sans Superellipse Jirak 8 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Tradesman' by Grype, 'Bold Pen Lettering JNL' and 'Chamferwood JNL' by Jeff Levine, '3x5' by K-Type, and 'Airbuzz' by Spinefonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms with consistently softened corners and largely uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and superelliptical rounds, giving letters a compact, modular silhouette. Openings and counters are typically rectangular or slot-like, and terminals often end in flat cuts rather than tapered strokes. Uppercase shapes read wide and stable, while the lowercase keeps similarly blocky construction with simple, engineered joins; diagonals (V, W, X, K) appear as straight slabs with minimal curvature. Numerals follow the same squared geometry, with 0 and 8 rendered as rounded rectangles and interior apertures kept tight and crisp.
Best suited to short-form display work where its blocky rhythm and rounded-rect geometry can be a focal point—headlines, titles, logos, poster typography, and packaging. It can also work for UI or wayfinding-style labels when set at larger sizes with generous tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is clean, mechanical, and intentionally stylized—evoking digital interfaces, arcade-era sci‑fi, and industrial labeling. Its rounded corners soften the mass, balancing a tough, technical feel with approachable friendliness.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, modular wordshape built from rounded-rectangle primitives, prioritizing a futuristic/technical personality and strong silhouette over neutral text readability.
The design relies on distinctive rectangular counters (notably in A, B, D, O, P, R, and 0/8), which creates a strong, recognizable texture in words. The heavy weight and compact apertures increase visual density, making spacing and line breaks important for comfortable reading at smaller sizes.
