Sans Superellipse Fored 8 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Black Square' by Agny Hasya Studio, 'Pork Chop' by Font Kitchen, 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type, 'Sans Beam' by Stawix, and 'Metral' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and smoothly radiused corners throughout. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, creating a dense, blocky texture, while counters and bowls tend toward squarish superellipse shapes (notably in O, D, P, and 0). Terminals are broadly cut and softened rather than sharply pointed, and the overall spacing reads open enough to keep forms distinct at display sizes. Lowercase features a tall x-height with simple, sturdy forms; the single-storey a and g, plus a compact, arched m/n, reinforce the geometric, engineered feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports identities, gaming titles, tech or automotive headlines, posters, and packaging where bold, angled letterforms help imply motion. It can work for larger blocks of copy when set with generous leading, but it reads strongest as a display face.
The tone is fast and punchy, evoking speed, equipment branding, and tech-forward styling. Its rounded corners keep the aggressiveness friendly, but the mass and slant still communicate momentum and impact.
The design appears intended to merge a geometric, superellipse skeleton with a consistent oblique stance to suggest speed and modernity, while maintaining approachable softness via rounded corners and even stroke weight.
The numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, producing highly uniform, sign-like figures, and the oblique angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and digits. Curves are generally tightened into squared bowls, giving the font a distinctive “machined” rhythm compared with more purely circular geometric sans faces.
