Sans Superellipse Tufi 2 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Quiel' by Ardyanatypes, 'Fairweather' by Dharma Type, 'Sansmatica' by Fontop, 'Contraption' by Pink Broccoli, 'Parkson' by Rook Supply, and 'TT Bluescreens' by TypeType (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with monoline strokes and compact proportions. Curves are based on rounded-rectangle construction, producing squarish bowls and tight apertures, while verticals dominate the rhythm. Corners are generally blunt and terminals feel cut-off rather than tapered, giving the letters a sturdy, poster-oriented silhouette. Many glyphs show a consistent roughened edge and slight internal chipping that reads like ink wear or stamped texture, adding grit without disrupting the overall structure.
Best suited for short display settings where impact and density matter—posters, bold headlines, labels, and branding marks that benefit from a compact footprint. It can also work for signage or editorial callouts when the distressed texture is desired as part of the visual voice.
The tone is bold and workmanlike, with an industrial, no-nonsense presence. The distressed finish introduces a gritty, vintage-utility feel—closer to stenciled packaging, warehouse signage, or printed ephemera than to polished corporate typography.
Likely designed to deliver maximum punch in a narrow measure while retaining straightforward sans construction. The superellipse-like geometry keeps forms stable and legible, and the worn texture adds an analog, printed character aimed at evocative display use rather than neutral text setting.
Spacing appears tight and the condensed widths create strong vertical emphasis, which helps headlines hold together as dense blocks. The textured edge treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, so it feels like an intentional surface effect rather than incidental noise.
