Sans Superellipse Erba 2 is a bold, wide, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Sans Atwic Modern' by Caron twice; 'Sans Beam' by Stawix; and 'Hackman', 'Metral', and 'Nauman Neue' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, forward-leaning sans with rounded-rectangle curves and broadly squared counters, producing a superelliptic, machined smoothness. Strokes are monolinear with blunt, clean terminals, and curves stay firm rather than calligraphic, giving letters a compact, aerodynamic silhouette. Capitals are broad and stable, while lowercase forms are simplified and sturdy, with single-storey construction where shown and a consistent, utilitarian rhythm. Numerals follow the same rounded, squared geometry and read clearly at display sizes.
Well-suited for branding systems that want a performance or tech-forward feel, as well as sports, automotive, and active-lifestyle communications. It works particularly well in headlines, packaging, signage, and UI labels where strong presence and quick recognition matter more than delicate detail.
The overall tone feels fast, assertive, and modern—more performance-oriented than friendly. Its oblique stance and compact apertures suggest motion and efficiency, aligning with a contemporary, technical voice that still remains approachable due to the softened, rounded corners.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-impact oblique sans that combines firm, engineered curves with softened corners. Its goal is likely to balance speed and authority with enough roundness to avoid harshness, making it effective for bold, modern communication.
Round letters (like O/C/G) keep a slightly squarish bowl, and diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) emphasize the slanted momentum. The bold punctuation-like dot on i/j and the sturdy, closed shapes contribute to a dense color on the page, especially in longer text lines.
