Sans Superellipse Tupe 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Acumin' by Adobe, 'Midnight Sans' by Colophon Foundry, and 'Miguel De Northern' by Graphicxell (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavyweight sans with tall proportions and tight counters. Strokes are uniform and dense, with rounded-rectangle shaping throughout: corners are softened, curves feel squarish, and terminals read blunt rather than tapered. The overall rhythm is narrow and efficient, with small apertures in letters like C, S, and e, and a distinctly boxed-in feel in the bowls of B, P, and R. Numerals follow the same robust, compressed construction for strong line-by-line consistency.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging panels, and wayfinding—where its dense color and compact width help fit more characters without losing presence. It can work for brief subheads or captions when strong emphasis is needed, but the tight openings and heavy texture make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, leaning industrial and slightly retro. Its compact, blocky shapes project authority and toughness, creating an attention-grabbing voice that feels at home on labels, headlines, and signage.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectilinear construction to stay friendly enough for modern applications while remaining tough and utilitarian. The consistent, blunt forms prioritize clarity at display sizes and a strong, uniform typographic “stamp” across mixed-case text and numerals.
Round letters such as O and Q read more like rounded rectangles than pure circles, reinforcing the squared geometry. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, functional build with a simple single-storey a and g, keeping the texture uniform in continuous text.
