Sans Superellipse Ferab 2 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Dharma Gothic' by Dharma Type, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, 'Maleo' by Tokotype, and 'Herokid' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, tightly set sans with a pronounced forward slant and heavy, uniform strokes. The letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: bowls and counters feel squarish with softened corners, and curves resolve into flattened, superellipse-like shapes rather than true circles. Proportions are tall and compressed, with short extenders and dense interior spaces that create a strong, dark texture in text. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, and the overall rhythm is steady and engineered, with minimal modulation and an emphasis on vertical mass.
Best suited to display roles where space is tight but impact needs to stay high: posters, sports and fitness identities, product packaging, and punchy promotional headlines. It also works well for short labels and numeric callouts where a condensed footprint and strong presence are beneficial.
The font projects speed and pressure—bold, condensed, and angled in a way that reads as athletic and action-oriented. Its compact shapes and chunky counters add a utilitarian, industrial edge, making the tone feel assertive and attention-grabbing rather than subtle or delicate.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in narrow spaces by combining heavy, uniform strokes with compressed proportions and a forward-leaning stance. The rounded-rectangle construction suggests a goal of looking modern and engineered while retaining friendly, softened corners for legibility at headline sizes.
Round forms like O/Q and C/G appear more like rounded boxes than circles, reinforcing a technical, manufactured feel. The digit set matches the same blocky, rounded-rectangle construction, helping headings and numerals maintain consistent color and impact.
