Sans Superellipse Jirub 8 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Racon' by Ahmet Altun, 'Home Room JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Evanston Alehouse' by Kimmy Design, 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'Dark Sport' by Sentavio (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and consistently thick strokes. Curves are largely translated into softened corners and superelliptical bowls, creating squarish forms in letters like O/Q and in numerals. Apertures are tight and counters are generally rectangular, with a compact internal rhythm that keeps the texture dense. Diagonals in K, M, N, V, W, X, and Y are clean and straight, while terminals favor flat, squared cuts; lowercase forms stay sturdy and simplified with short ascenders/descenders and minimal modulation.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, and bold packaging. The dense, squared forms and tight apertures favor display sizes where the strong silhouette reads clearly, and it can work well in interfaces or graphics seeking an industrial or game-like voice.
The overall tone is bold and engineered, with a modern, tech-adjacent feel that also nods to arcade and scoreboard aesthetics. Its compact shapes and squared softness convey strength and efficiency rather than warmth or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a controlled, geometric personality—using rounded-square construction to balance toughness with approachability. It emphasizes recognizable silhouettes, compact spacing, and a consistent stroke system for punchy, contemporary display typography.
The punctuation and numerals match the same rounded-rectilinear logic, and the figure set appears designed for clear recognition at larger sizes. The Q’s tail and the notched/angular details in letters like S and Z add a slightly mechanical character without introducing ornament.
