Sans Superellipse Amwu 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, reverse italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hubba' by Green Type, 'Angulosa M.8' by Ingo, '946 Latin' by Roman Type, and 'Entropia' by Slava Antipov (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with a pronounced backward slant and tightly packed proportions. Letterforms are built from thick, low-contrast strokes with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) corners and squared-off terminals, producing dense, blocky silhouettes. Counters are small and often rectangular, and the overall rhythm is punchy and compressed, with occasional width variation between characters that keeps the texture lively while staying consistently bold.
Best suited to display typography where impact matters: headlines, posters, event graphics, sports-related branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when set with generous spacing and ample size, but the dense weight and tight counters make it less ideal for extended small-size reading.
The tone is forceful and energetic, with a sporty, poster-like presence. The reverse slant adds a contrarian, fast-moving feel, while the rounded geometry softens the aggression just enough to read as playful and retro-industrial rather than harsh.
This font appears designed to maximize visual punch in compact space, combining condensed proportions with softened, rounded geometry. The reverse slant and blocky construction suggest an intention to evoke motion and toughness for branding-forward, high-energy applications.
In longer lines, the weight and compression create a strong horizontal banding effect, especially in all-caps. Figures follow the same chunky, rounded-rectangle construction, remaining highly graphic and attention-grabbing at display sizes.
