Sans Superellipse Otleg 8 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Metsys' by Alias Collection, 'Perihelion BB' by Blambot, 'Charles Wright' by K-Type, 'Brainy Variable Sans' by Maculinc, and 'Nulato' by Stefan Stoychev (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with squared-off skeletons softened by large-radius corners and superellipse-like curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing sturdy, blocky letterforms and a tight internal rhythm. Counters tend to be rounded-rectangular, terminals are blunt, and joins are clean and engineered, with slightly condensed-feeling shapes in letters like E, F, and T that emphasize horizontal bars. The lowercase is simple and utilitarian, with a single-storey a and g and a compact, sturdy presence across text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging fronts, and wayfinding where bold shapes and simplified counters hold up well. It can work for UI labels or badges when set with generous spacing, but its dense weight makes it most comfortable at display sizes rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, balancing an industrial, signage-like strength with approachable rounded edges. It feels functional and tech-forward rather than elegant, projecting clarity, impact, and a modern brand voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum punch with a clean, geometric system, using rounded-square construction to keep the texture uniform and contemporary. It prioritizes immediate legibility and a strong silhouette for branding and display applications.
Round letters (O, C, G, Q) read as squarish ovals with softened corners, giving the design a distinctive ‘rounded-rectangle’ footprint. Diagonals in K, V, W, X, and Y are robust and crisp, and numerals are similarly solid and simplified for quick recognition at display sizes.
