Sans Superellipse Pilun 2 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Procerus' by Artegra, 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype, 'Branson' by Sensatype Studio, and 'Supertall' by wearecolt (names referenced only for comparison).

A compressed, heavy sans with monoline strokes and a strongly vertical rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squared counters and soft corner radii rather than true circles. Terminals are blunt and flat, joins are sturdy, and interior apertures run narrow, giving the design a dense, dark texture. Lowercase proportions are compact with short ascenders and descenders, and figures follow the same tall, compact structure for consistent color in lines of text.
Best suited for display typography where space is limited but impact is needed—headlines, posters, cover lines, branding lockups, and packaging panels. It also works well for punchy UI or signage labels when used large enough to preserve interior clarity.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with an industrial, billboard-like presence. Its tight, tall forms project urgency and confidence, lending a bold, modern voice that reads as utilitarian and high-impact rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a tight footprint, combining an engineered rounded-rectangle construction with a dense, uniform stroke to maintain strong typographic color. It prioritizes immediate recognition and compact headline setting over delicate detail.
The condensed width and narrow counters create a strong vertical emphasis, and the rounded-rectangle construction keeps the feel contemporary and engineered. At smaller sizes the dense interior space can close up, while at display sizes the geometric shaping becomes a defining stylistic feature.
