Sans Superellipse Tidun 2 is a very bold, very narrow, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' by Emtype Foundry, 'Burger Honren' by IRF Lab Studio, 'Maleo' by Tokotype, and 'Heading Now' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, condensed sans with heavy, compact strokes and a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) skeleton. Counters are relatively small and apertures are tight, producing a dense, forceful color in text. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, while corners show soft rounding that keeps forms from feeling sharp. Subtle edge irregularities and ink-like bite marks (especially at joins and inner corners) add a slightly distressed, stamped quality without breaking legibility at display sizes. The overall rhythm is upright and tightly spaced with strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display typography where density and impact are desirable: posters, bold editorial heads, packaging, signage, and logo wordmarks. The condensed build helps fit long titles into narrow spaces, while the slightly rough texture can add character to branding and promotional work.
The font conveys a utilitarian, workmanlike tone—part poster, part industrial labeling—with a faintly worn, print-made character. It feels assertive and attention-seeking, suggesting headlines that should read as tough, direct, and a little vintage.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact width, combining a rounded-rectangle geometric base with subtle distressing to evoke inked or stamped printing. The goal appears to be strong readability at display sizes with an intentionally rugged, analog finish.
Round letters like O/Q read as squarish ovals with softened corners, reinforcing the superellipse construction. The lowercase maintains a tall, compact silhouette that keeps lines visually solid, while the texture adds personality that becomes more apparent as sizes increase.
