Sans Superellipse Tura 2 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'OL Franklin Triple Condensed' by Dennis Ortiz-Lopez, 'Resolve Sans' by Fenotype, 'Champion Gothic' by Hoefler & Co., and 'PG Gothique' by Paulo Goode (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and softly squared curves. Strokes stay broadly uniform, but the contours show deliberate irregularities—slight waviness, chiseled terminals, and notched areas that read like ink spread or distressed printing. Counters are compact and often vertically emphasized, giving letters a tall, packed rhythm. The overall spacing and widths vary subtly by glyph, reinforcing a hand-stamped, slightly unpredictable texture while remaining clearly structured and legible at display sizes.
Best suited to impactful display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging labels, and branding that benefits from a bold condensed presence. It also works well for signage-style graphics and merch where a slightly worn, hand-printed texture adds authenticity. For longer text, the compressed proportions and dense counters suggest using larger sizes and generous line spacing.
The font projects a gritty, utilitarian energy—like stenciled signage or worn poster type pulled from a print shop. Its compressed heft feels assertive and urban, with a handmade edge that adds character and attitude without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to merge a condensed display structure with a deliberately imperfect, print-worn surface. It prioritizes punchy vertical rhythm and strong silhouettes while injecting analog character through roughened edges and subtly uneven stroke contours.
Round letters (like O/C/G) lean toward superelliptical, rounded-rect forms rather than true circles, and many joins show small pinches or nicked transitions that enhance the distressed feel. Numerals follow the same condensed, blocky logic, making the set visually consistent for headlines and short numeric callouts.
