Sans Superellipse Hamiz 8 is a regular weight, wide, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Mercurial' by Grype, 'Olney' by Philatype, 'RBNo3.1' by René Bieder, 'Metral' by The Northern Block, and 'Obvia Wide' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric sans with a pronounced superellipse construction: round forms read as rounded rectangles with flattened sides and softly radiused corners. Strokes are monolinear and steady, with squared terminals and minimal modulation, producing a crisp, engineered silhouette. Proportions are broad and sturdy, counters are generous but often more rectangular than circular, and the lowercase is compact with a prominent x-height that keeps text dense and legible. Numerals and capitals follow the same squared-round logic, creating a highly consistent set across the character range.
This font suits interface and product contexts where clarity and a structured, modern voice are important—such as UI labels, navigation, dashboards, and settings screens. Its broad, superelliptical forms and steady strokes also work well for signage-style headings and contemporary brand systems that want a technical but approachable feel.
The overall tone is contemporary and pragmatic, with a distinctly techno-industrial flavor. Its rounded-rectangle geometry feels friendly enough to avoid harshness, yet still signals precision and systematized design, making it come across as confident, functional, and product-oriented.
The design appears intended to translate the language of rounded rectangles and device UI geometry into a cohesive text and display sans. By keeping strokes even and shapes tightly systematized, it aims for dependable legibility and a distinctive, modern identity that reads as both engineered and friendly.
Curves resolve into flattened arcs rather than true circles, giving letters like C, G, O, and Q a boxy-round presence. The lowercase shows simplified, sturdy shapes and compact joins, supporting a stable texture in paragraphs and UI-style strings. Diacritics and punctuation are not shown here, so the assessment focuses on the core Latin letters and figures visible in the samples.
