Sans Superellipse Porin 2 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Bureau Grot' by Font Bureau, 'Metroline' and 'Superline' by Kavoon, and 'PG Gothique' and 'PG Grotesque' by Paulo Goode (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly compressed, heavy monoline sans with tall proportions and compact counters. Curves and bowls are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving O/C/G-like forms a squarish softness rather than true circles. Strokes stay essentially uniform, terminals are clean and flat, and interior apertures are narrowly opened to preserve density. The overall rhythm is vertical and stacked, with straight-sided curves and consistent weight creating a solid, blocky texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, poster titling, sports or event branding, packaging callouts, and signage where space is tight but impact is required. It can work for subheads and labels, but its dense texture and narrow apertures make it less ideal for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The face reads bold and assertive, with a no-nonsense, industrial confidence. Its compressed stance and squared-round forms evoke headline urgency and a utilitarian toughness, leaning toward sports, posters, and high-impact labeling rather than subtle editorial tone.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact and economy of horizontal space while maintaining a consistent, robust texture. Its rounded-rectangle construction suggests a deliberate geometric system aimed at producing strong, modern letterforms that stay legible and stable in display use.
In the samples, the dense spacing and narrow counters create strong word shapes and high ink coverage, especially in mixed-case text. Numerals follow the same compressed, sturdy build and feel designed to hold up in large, attention-grabbing settings.
