Sans Superellipse Pigez 2 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Kaneda Gothic' by Dharma Type, 'Smart Sans' by Monotype, 'Beni' by Nois, 'Aureola' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Robson' by TypeUnion, and 'Lugak Sans' by holyline design (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed, monolinear sans with heavy strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and soft corners rather than true circles, giving counters a vertical, pill-like feel and keeping forms compact. Terminals are mostly flat and abrupt, with minimal modulation and a consistent, engineered rhythm. The lowercase is tall with short ascenders and descenders, and the numerals follow the same compressed, blocky logic for strong texture in lines of text.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short bursts of copy where density and impact are desired. It works well in posters, packaging, branding marks, and signage systems that benefit from a compact footprint and strong typographic color. Use with generous tracking or larger sizes when setting longer lines.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, leaning toward industrial and display-forward communication. Its compressed stance and squared curves evoke a retro signage and poster tradition while still reading clean and contemporary. The density creates a confident, no-nonsense voice suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space while maintaining clean sans legibility. The rounded-rectangle geometry and flat terminals suggest an intention toward sturdy, reproducible forms that feel both retro and industrial. Overall, it prioritizes punchy display performance and consistent, constructed silhouettes.
The design relies on narrow internal apertures and vertically oriented counters, which increases color and impact at large sizes but can make small-size reading feel tight. The shape language stays highly consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a unified, constructed look.
