Sans Superellipse Tekol 2 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Final Edition JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Havana Sunset' by Set Sail Studios, 'Cargi' by Studio Principle Type, 'Kapra' by Typoforge Studio, and 'Delonie' and 'Headpen' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with softly squared, superelliptical rounds and generally blunt terminals. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, and many joins and counters feel slightly softened rather than sharply geometric. The outlines show subtle irregularities—like ink spread or a worn stamp—creating a tactile edge while keeping the overall structure consistent. Proportions are compact and vertical, with tight interior counters in letters like a, e, and s, giving the face a dense, poster-forward color.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, product packaging, and signage where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can also work for logo wordmarks and badges when the stamped texture and condensed proportions are part of the intended aesthetic.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, with a gritty, analog finish that reads as stamped, printed, or screen-pressed rather than purely digital. It suggests vintage workwear graphics, packaging, and signage—confident, a bit rough, and attention-grabbing without feeling playful.
The design appears intended to combine a condensed, space-efficient silhouette with an imperfect print texture, delivering strong legibility and high contrast against the page through mass and shape rather than stroke modulation. Its softened-rectangle geometry keeps forms friendly and sturdy while the roughened edge adds a handcrafted, industrial credibility.
At larger sizes the texture adds character and helps avoid a sterile look, while at smaller sizes the tight counters and condensed width can make dense copy feel heavy. The numerals and capitals share the same blocky rhythm, supporting strong, uniform typographic color in headlines.
