Sans Superellipse Ukkos 8 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hudson NY Pro' by Arkitype, 'Air Corps JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Beachwood' by Swell Type, and 'Octin College' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and pronounced chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette. Strokes are monoline and dense, with compact internal counters and squared terminals that keep forms tight and mechanical. Curves in letters like O, C, and G read as superelliptical rather than truly circular, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) emphasize a rigid, engineered rhythm. The lowercase follows the same angular logic with single‑storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and a generally compact, sign-like texture. Numerals are equally block-constructed, with squared bowls and clipped corners for a cohesive, set-like appearance.
Best suited for headlines, branding, and short bursts of text where its compact, chamfered forms read as intentional design. It works well for sports identities, tech or industrial-themed graphics, packaging, and wayfinding-style applications. For extended reading, its tight counters and dense weight suggest using larger sizes and generous spacing.
The overall tone is tough and functional, evoking industrial labeling, athletic branding, and interface typography. Its chamfered geometry and compact counters give it a technical, machinery-adjacent feel while still reading cleanly at display sizes. The texture is assertive and no-nonsense, with a contemporary, engineered character rather than a friendly or calligraphic one.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, modern display voice built from superelliptical, rounded-rectangle geometry with consistent corner chamfers. It prioritizes strong silhouette and uniform construction for high-impact branding and titling, with a system-like consistency across letters and figures.
Distinctive identifying traits include consistent corner clipping across most glyphs, tight apertures in letters like S and a, and a squared, modular approach to curves. The uppercase and numerals feel especially uniform and emblematic, while the lowercase introduces slightly more varied silhouettes but remains firmly geometric.
