Sans Superellipse Terof 2 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cord Nuvo' by Designova, 'Champion Gothic' by Hoefler & Co., 'ITC Machine' by ITC, and 'Avilock' by Namara Creative Studio (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and a tight, condensed footprint. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with subtle modulation coming from the way corners and joins are shaped rather than from calligraphic contrast. Curves read as rounded-rectangle forms, and many terminals look slightly notched or clipped, creating an ink-trap/stencil-like impression. The overall silhouette is sturdy and geometric, with counters kept relatively small and openings often narrowed by the weight.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, labels, and wayfinding where bold presence is needed. It also works well for sports or event graphics, merchandise, and packaging that benefits from a rugged, industrial tone. Use generous tracking and comfortable line spacing for longer lines of text to preserve clarity.
The texture feels industrial and workmanlike, balancing friendliness from the rounded geometry with toughness from the blunt weight and chipped-looking terminals. It evokes utilitarian labeling, athletic/arena signage, and bold retro display lettering rather than refined editorial typography.
The design appears intended as a condensed display sans that delivers maximum impact in limited horizontal space. Its rounded-rectangle skeleton and clipped/notched terminals suggest a deliberate effort to add texture and a utilitarian, stamped or stenciled character while keeping a clean geometric backbone.
Uppercase and lowercase share a strong, unified block rhythm, with the lowercase keeping a compact, sturdy structure that maintains emphasis in mixed-case settings. The numerals match the same dense, squared-off construction, helping the font hold together in sets like dates and scores. At smaller sizes the tight apertures and heavy mass may merge, while at larger sizes the distinctive notches and rounded-rectangle construction become a defining feature.
