Sans Superellipse Utgum 8 is a bold, very wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Future Tense' by Borges Lettering, 'Clonoid' by Dharma Type, 'Aspire' and 'Aspire SmallCaps' by Grype, and '946 Latin' by Roman Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric sans with an extended stance and a strong, even stroke weight. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms, producing squarish counters in letters like O, D, and P, and a consistent softened-corner geometry throughout. Terminals are clean and mostly horizontal/vertical, with occasional angled joins that add a crisp, engineered feel. Proportions emphasize width and stability, with broad bowls, compact apertures, and a distinctly modular rhythm that stays uniform across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where its wide, geometric forms can read as intentional and graphic. It works well for brand marks, product titling, packaging, and tech-oriented campaigns, and can also support UI/overlay text when used at comfortable sizes with adequate spacing.
The overall tone is modern and synthetic, evoking interface typography, sci‑fi labeling, and performance branding. Its rounded-square construction feels both friendly and mechanical, balancing approachability with a precise, manufactured character.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, engineered look built from rounded-square geometry, optimized for bold display impact and a cohesive alphanumeric palette for modern branding and digital contexts.
The face favors closed, sturdy shapes and clear silhouettes, giving it a signage-like presence at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, contributing to a cohesive, systemized set of forms suitable for alphanumeric-heavy settings.
