Sans Superellipse Ogriv 8 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Kaneda Gothic' by Dharma Type, 'Akkordeon' by Emtype Foundry, 'Burger Honren' by IRF Lab Studio, and 'Beni' by Nois (names referenced only for comparison).

A dense, heavy sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes stay consistently thick with softened terminals and tight interior counters, giving letters a pressed, blocky silhouette rather than crisp geometry. Curves resolve into squarish bowls (notably in C, O, Q, and the lowercase o/e), and joins remain simple and sturdy with minimal modulation. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, producing strong color on the line and high impact at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short branding statements where dense letterforms and tight counters can read as intentional style. It also works well for packaging, signage, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a compact, friendly bold presence. For long text or small sizes, more generous tracking and leading would help maintain legibility.
The rounded, condensed heft creates a friendly but assertive voice—playful, poster-like, and slightly retro. Its softened corners keep the tone approachable while the dense weight reads loud and confident, leaning toward packaging and headline energy rather than formal neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while keeping a soft, approachable texture. Its superelliptical bowls and rounded terminals prioritize a cohesive, branded feel—evoking mid-century/retro display lettering—over fine detail or text-centric readability.
Distinctive squared rounds and narrow apertures make counters feel compact, which boosts boldness but can reduce clarity in smaller settings. Numerals share the same rounded-rect logic, with simple, blocky forms that match the alphabet’s compact stance.
