Sans Superellipse Pybey 8 is a regular weight, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'MVB Diazo' by MVB, 'Karben 105' and 'Karben 205' by Talbot Type, 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH, and 'Manifest' by Yasin Yalcin (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact sans with monoline strokes and a vertically oriented, space-efficient stance. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry, producing squared-off bowls and softened corners rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are mostly flat and clean, with consistent stroke weight and minimal modulation. Uppercase proportions are tall and restrained; lowercase forms are straightforward with a single-storey a and g, a short-armed t, and tidy, closed counters that stay legible at tighter widths. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic, with open, readable shapes and even color across lines of text.
Well suited to interface typography, product labeling, and information-heavy layouts where a compact footprint and even texture are helpful. It can also work for concise headlines and signage systems that benefit from a modern, engineered look and clear numerals.
The overall tone is pragmatic and contemporary, with a measured, engineered feel. Its squared-round curves add a subtle industrial friendliness while staying serious and no-nonsense, making it read as modern and efficient rather than expressive or decorative.
Likely drawn to provide a space-saving, highly consistent sans for contemporary communication. The superellipse construction suggests an intention to blend geometric rigor with softened edges for a practical, modern voice.
The rhythm is tight and consistent, with compact sidebearings that create a dense texture in paragraphs. Rounded corners soften the otherwise rectilinear construction, and the family’s geometry remains coherent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
