Sans Superellipse Gerat 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Acumin' by Adobe, 'European Sans Pro' by Bülent Yüksel, 'Newhouse DT' by DTP Types, 'HD Colton' by HyperDeluxe, 'Helvetica' by Linotype, and 'Nominee' by TypeUnion (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, tightly set sans with a pronounced rightward slant and compact proportions. The forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: wide curves are squarish and softened at the corners, while counters stay relatively small and enclosed. Strokes remain broadly even with blunt terminals, producing dense silhouettes and strong word-shapes. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a deep, rounded “g,” and the numerals follow the same chunky, soft-cornered construction for consistent texture.
Best suited to short, high-visibility settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, product packaging, and promotional lockups where bold, slanted forms add motion and emphasis. It can work for brief subheads or callouts, but the dense counters make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, with a forward-leaning posture that suggests speed and momentum. Its dense weight and compact rhythm read as confident and high-impact, leaning toward contemporary, action-oriented styling rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a streamlined, contemporary voice—combining a strong italic stance with rounded-rectangle construction to keep the letterforms solid, uniform, and fast-looking in display use.
Round letters like O/C/G take on a squarish, superelliptical feel, which keeps curves disciplined and uniform across the set. The heavy weight narrows internal spaces, so clarity depends on generous size and spacing, especially in text with many round counters.
