Sans Superellipse Okbif 2 is a very bold, very narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Redeye Sans' by Aboutype, 'Tungsten' by Hoefler & Co., 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, 'Grand' by North Type, 'Reforma Grotesk' by ParaType, and 'Initiate' by Stiggy & Sands (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed display sans with tall proportions and heavy, compact strokes. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes rather than true circles, giving counters a squarish, superellipse feel, especially in C, O, and the bowls of B/P/R. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt with softly rounded corners, and joins are sturdy and simplified for a solid, uniform texture. The lowercase is compact with short extenders and sturdy stems; numerals are similarly narrow and blocky, reading clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited to high-impact headlines, posters, and short statements where a dense, condensed texture is an advantage. It can work well for signage, sports/fitness branding, packaging callouts, and bold label systems where clarity and presence are more important than extended reading comfort.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a strong poster and signage character. Its rounded-square geometry softens the weight slightly, creating a controlled, modern-industrial feel that still nods to retro condensed display typography. The result is confident, attention-seeking, and straightforward rather than delicate or editorial.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space while keeping forms sturdy and highly legible. The rounded-rectangle construction suggests a deliberate geometric theme aimed at creating a recognizable, uniform voice for display typography.
Spacing appears tight and the dense vertical rhythm makes lines of text feel packed and energetic. The rounded corners and squared counters produce a distinctive “compressed capsule” silhouette that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
