Sans Superellipse Pimef 2 is a very bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Blue Creek' and 'Blue Creek Rounded' by ActiveSphere, 'Albireo' and 'Albireo Soft' by Cory Maylett Design, 'Compilation Grotesk' by Estudio Calderon, and 'Graphique Next' by profonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact condensed sans with straight-sided bowls and rounded-rectangle curvature, giving many forms a superellipse feel. Strokes appear consistently heavy with minimal modulation, producing dense interiors and tight counters. The geometry favors verticality: tall ascenders, narrow apertures, and squared-off terminals that keep word shapes rigid and columnar. Lowercase forms remain simplified and upright, with single-story constructions where visible and a restrained, functional approach to joins and diagonals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short emphatic statements where a compact footprint and strong typographic color are desirable. It can work well on packaging, labels, and branding systems that need an industrial or athletic edge. For longer text, it performs more comfortably at larger sizes or with increased spacing to relieve the dense counters.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with an industrial, poster-like presence. Its narrow, blocky rhythm reads as efficient and controlled, conveying urgency and authority without ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using simplified superellipse-derived shapes to keep forms consistent and sturdy. It prioritizes bold clarity and a regimented rhythm for attention-grabbing display typography.
Round letters such as O/Q and C/G lean toward rounded-rectangle outlines rather than true circles, which strengthens the engineered feel. The numerals follow the same condensed, robust construction, maintaining consistent color in mixed text. In long lines, the tight internal space and narrow proportions create a strong vertical texture that benefits from generous tracking or larger sizes.
