Sans Superellipse Akfi 2 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Neo Strada' by Differentialtype, 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Nulato' by Stefan Stoychev, and 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact sans with squarish, rounded-rectangle construction and strongly radiused corners throughout. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with tight, efficient apertures and a generally closed, space-saving rhythm in both caps and lowercase. The uppercase set reads slightly condensed and blocky, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, engineered feel with simple bowls and short terminals; curves tend to resolve into softened corners rather than fully circular arcs. Numerals follow the same superelliptical logic, with rounded counters and firm, flat-ish sides that keep the texture dense and consistent.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and display typography where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable. It can work well for signage, packaging, and product or interface labeling where the squared-round shapes reinforce a technical or industrial aesthetic.
The overall tone is modern and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, instrumentation, and practical signage. Its squared geometry and heavy, compact presence feel decisive and technical rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to translate geometric, superelliptical forms into a practical sans that feels robust and space-efficient. By relying on rounded-rectangle bowls and compact proportions, it aims for strong presence and clear, systematic styling across alphanumerics.
In text, the dense letterforms and narrow openings create a strong, continuous color that holds together well at larger sizes, while the squared curves give the face a distinctive “rounded box” signature. The design’s consistency across letters and figures emphasizes an engineered, system-like personality.
