Sans Superellipse Ibniy 2 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Albireo' and 'Albireo Soft' by Cory Maylett Design, 'Otoiwo Grotesk' by Pepper Type, and 'Heading Now' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with a condensed footprint and strongly rectangular construction softened by rounded corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dark, even color in text. Curves tend toward squared bowls and superellipse-like ovals, while joins and terminals stay blunt and clean. Counters are relatively tight, apertures are modest, and spacing is straightforward, giving the alphabet a dense, punchy rhythm.
Best suited for short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, labels, and signage where dense black presence is an advantage. It can also work for logo wordmarks and brand systems that want a compact, engineered look, while extended body text will likely feel heavy and tight due to the dense texture and small counters.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a contemporary industrial feel. Its compact mass and squared-round geometry reads confident and no-nonsense, leaning toward sporty or workwear branding rather than delicate or literary uses.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and space efficiency while keeping forms friendly through rounded corners. Its geometry prioritizes strong silhouette and legibility at large sizes, aiming for a modern, durable sans voice with consistent, repeatable shapes.
Uppercase forms feel especially rigid and signlike, while the lowercase maintains the same chunky logic, keeping texture consistent across cases. Numerals match the condensed, block-first approach and hold up as bold, simple shapes that remain coherent at display sizes.
