Sans Superellipse Ormak 8 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Midnight Sans' by Colophon Foundry, 'Miguel De Northern' by Graphicxell, 'Kuunari' by Melvastype, and 'Ggx89' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with block-like construction and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) curves. Strokes are thick and even, with tight interior counters and generally closed apertures that create a dense, ink-trap-free silhouette. Terminals are mostly flat and squared-off, while bowls and shoulders soften into rounded corners, producing a rigid-but-smoothed geometry. Overall spacing and proportions favor a tall, compressed rhythm suited to headline sizes.
Best suited to short, bold settings where space is limited: headlines, posters, sports or event graphics, packaging callouts, and strong brand wordmarks. It can also work for signage and UI labels when large enough to keep tight counters from filling in.
The font conveys a forceful, no-nonsense tone—efficient, industrial, and attention-grabbing. Its condensed heft reads as confident and urgent, with a contemporary, poster-like bluntness rather than a friendly or delicate feel.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and economy of space, pairing a condensed footprint with robust, rounded-rect geometry. It aims for clear, modern display presence with a sturdy, utilitarian character that remains visually consistent across letters and numerals.
Round letters like O/C/G and the digit set emphasize squarish curves and compact counters, increasing darkness in text. Lowercase forms appear straightforward and functional, with minimal modulation and simple joins that prioritize solidity over openness.
