Sans Superellipse Hodih 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'AG Book W1G' by Berthold, 'Neue Helvetica' and 'Neue Helvetica Paneuropean' by Linotype, 'Europa Grotesk No. 2 SB' and 'Europa Grotesk No. 2 SH' by Scangraphic Digital Type Collection, and 'Nimbus Sans Novus' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-forward sans with rounded-rectangle curves and softened corners throughout. The forms are built from simple geometric masses with minimal stroke modulation, producing a solid, even color on the page. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be partially closed, which increases impact and compactness at display sizes. The lowercase is tall with short ascenders and descenders, and overall spacing feels firm and efficient, reinforcing a strong, condensed-in-feel texture without looking narrow.
Best suited to large-scale uses where weight and simplified geometry are advantages: posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and punchy campaign graphics. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when you want a friendly-but-forceful voice, though the tight counters suggest avoiding long text at small sizes.
The tone is bold and approachable: assertive enough for headlines, yet softened by the rounded geometry so it reads friendly rather than severe. It suggests contemporary utility—think energetic, upbeat messaging where clarity and impact matter more than delicacy.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a clean, geometric construction and rounded edges that keep the voice contemporary and approachable. It prioritizes strong silhouette recognition and uniform texture, making it well adapted to bold messaging and identity-driven typography.
Round letters (like C, G, O) lean toward superelliptical bowls, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) stay broad and stable. Numerals are chunky and high-contrast-in-presence (not stroke), designed to hold up visually alongside the uppercase, making the set feel cohesive for signage and emphatic UI callouts.
