Sans Superellipse Idnas 2 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Akkordeon' by Emtype Foundry, 'Sztos' by Machalski, 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype, and 'Herokid' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A dense, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly curved joins that keep the forms soft despite the mass. Curves are squarish and superelliptical, counters are relatively tight, and terminals tend to end in clean, blunt cuts rather than tapered or flared finishes. The lowercase shows a tall, sturdy core with compact apertures (notably in c/e/s) and a single-storey a and g, while the uppercase maintains a uniform, poster-like presence. Numerals are similarly weighty and simplified, with generous rounding and minimal internal detail for strong silhouette clarity.
Best suited for large-scale uses where weight and silhouette can do the work: headlines, poster typography, cover lines, product packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also fit energetic identity systems (events, teams, promotions) where compact, high-impact text blocks are desirable.
The overall tone is confident and attention-grabbing, with a friendly, slightly nostalgic flavor that recalls mid-century display lettering and bold packaging typography. Rounded corners and compact counters soften the impact, making it feel approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that pairs strong rectangular structure with softened rounding for approachability. It prioritizes bold presence and rhythmic texture in short phrases and titles, trading delicate detail for punch and consistency.
Spacing appears intentionally snug in text, creating a dark, continuous rhythm that emphasizes blocks of words over fine internal detail. The design relies on silhouette strength and rounded geometry, so it reads best when given enough size or contrast to separate tight counters and small openings.
