Sans Superellipse Ifnu 8 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Massilia' by Blaze Type, 'BR Nebula' by Brink, 'Amsi Pro' and 'Amsi Pro AKS' by Stawix, and 'Meutas' and 'Meutas Soft' by Trustha (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with squarish, superellipse-based bowls and softly radiused corners throughout. The strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing compact apertures and counters that read as punched-out shapes. Curves tend to resolve into flat-ish terminals and broad shoulders, while diagonals remain sturdy and simplified. Lowercase forms are large and sturdy relative to capitals, with single-storey “a” and “g” and a generally compact, geometric rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, wordmarks, packaging, and bold labels where its rounded geometry and dense color can carry a layout. It can also work for signage and UI callouts when set large, but it is less ideal for long passages or small text where the tight counters may reduce clarity.
The overall tone is cheerful and attention-grabbing, with a toy-like, approachable warmth that leans into bold graphic impact. Its chunky proportions and rounded rectangles evoke a retro display sensibility while staying clean and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a friendly, rounded geometry, combining a geometric backbone with softened corners for an approachable display voice. The consistent stroke thickness and simplified shapes prioritize boldness and immediacy over fine-detail readability.
Spacing appears generous enough for large settings, but the tight internal spaces and closed apertures suggest it will look darkest at smaller sizes. Numerals are similarly hefty and rounded, matching the letterforms’ squared curves and poster-like presence.
