Sans Superellipse Higul 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Grandheron Sans New' by André Simard, 'Mako' by Deltatype, 'Britva' by Juraj Chrastina, 'Eurostile LT' by Linotype, 'Eurostile' by URW Type Foundry, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with squared proportions and consistently rounded outer corners, giving many forms a rounded-rectangle feel. Strokes are thick and uniform, with tight counters and short apertures that keep letters dense at display sizes. Several capitals introduce distinctive internal cut-ins and pinched joins (notably in M, N, and W), adding a subtle stencil-like, engineered texture without becoming decorative. Numerals and lowercase follow the same compact rhythm, with sturdy verticals, minimal modulation, and slightly softened terminals for a controlled, cohesive silhouette.
Best suited for large-scale text where its dense forms and distinctive internal cut-ins read as intentional character—posters, headlines, packaging panels, athletic or event branding, and bold wayfinding. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a compact, high-impact look is desired, but its tight counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is tough and workmanlike, with a retro-industrial flavor and a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its compact width and dense interiors create an urgent, punchy voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than delicate nuance.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining rounded-rectangle construction with engineered interior details to stay legible and recognizable in bold, display-oriented settings.
The design’s signature comes from the interplay of rounded outer geometry and sharply carved interior notches, which adds identity in headlines while keeping the family firmly in a clean sans idiom. Spacing appears tight and purposeful, reinforcing a compressed, poster-forward color on the page.
