Sans Superellipse Gimes 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Future Bugler Upright' by Breauhare, 'Design System' by Dharma Type, 'Maxel' by Dikas Studio, 'Environ' by MADType, 'Ataribaby' and 'Quayzaar' by Test Pilot Collective, and 'Acorna' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from thick, even strokes and rounded-rectangle geometry, giving letters a squarish silhouette with softened corners. Curves are rendered as superelliptic arcs rather than true circles, producing a compact, engineered rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are relatively small and often rectangular or rounded-rectangular, while terminals tend to be blunt and squared off. The lowercase is highly simplified, with single-storey forms and minimal modulation; joins and shoulders are tight and controlled, and overall spacing reads steady and uniform in text.
It suits bold headlines, posters, and brand marks where strong silhouette recognition is important. The squared-round construction also works well for wayfinding, packaging, labels, and interface/overlay titles that benefit from a sturdy, technical voice. In longer passages, it’s most effective at larger sizes where the compact counters remain clear.
The overall tone is confident and utilitarian, with a playful retro-tech flavor reminiscent of signage, arcade graphics, and industrial labeling. Its chunky shapes and softened corners feel friendly but authoritative, projecting durability and impact rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive rounded-rectilinear system, balancing friendliness (soft corners) with a mechanical, structured feel (boxy forms and blunt terminals). It prioritizes graphic presence and consistency across letters and numerals for display and identity-driven settings.
Distinctive superellipse construction shows up strongly in round letters like O/Q and in the squared bowls of B/P/R. The numeral set matches the same boxy, rounded-rectangle logic, yielding a consistent, display-oriented texture. Because counters are tight at heavier sizes, the design reads best when given breathing room in size and tracking.
