Sans Superellipse Neky 2 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Acumin' by Adobe, 'Folio' by Bitstream, 'Folio' by Linotype, and 'Heading Now' and 'Milligram' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with a superelliptical skeleton: strokes and counters are built from rounded-rectangle geometry with consistently softened corners and blunt, squared-off terminals. Curves are full and compact, with small-to-medium counters and relatively tight apertures (notably in forms like C, S, and e), giving the letters a dense, punchy rhythm. Straight-sided characters (E, F, H, I, L) feel monolithic and stable, while rounds (O, Q, 0) read as squarish ovals with even curvature. The lowercase maintains a tall x-height and simplified, sturdy construction; the overall texture is uniform, with minimal modulation and strong black coverage that emphasizes silhouette over interior detail.
Best suited to display settings where strong silhouette and high visual presence are desired: headlines, posters, storefront and wayfinding signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or callouts when a friendly, high-impact voice is needed, but its dense counters and tight apertures make it less ideal for extended small-size reading.
The tone is cheerful and approachable, with a toy-like, cushioned weight that feels energetic rather than formal. Its rounded-rectangle DNA and compact counters lend a retro display flavor—confident, loud, and friendly—well suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design intent appears to prioritize maximum visual punch with a soft, rounded personality—combining sturdy, almost modular construction with smooth corners to create a welcoming, retro-leaning display sans that stays cohesive across letters and numerals.
Spacing and proportions favor impact: many glyphs appear broadly proportioned with short joins and reinforced junctions that keep shapes from feeling delicate at large sizes. Numerals follow the same blocky, softened geometry for consistent headline color, with open, easy-to-spot silhouettes even when counters are tight.
