Aerodynamic shape optimization tools automatically design an airfoil starting from a circle. The objective of the optimization is to minimize the drag while satisfying a minimum lift constraint. The Mach number is typical for transonic flight and the optimizer reinvents the supercritical airfoil. For more details, see this journal article:
