Sans Superellipse Honas 2 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Square 721' by Bitstream, 'Eurostile Next' and 'Eurostile Next Paneuropean' by Linotype, 'Eurostile SB' and 'Eurostile SH' by Scangraphic Digital Type Collection, and 'Eurostile' and 'Eurostile Round' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with squared-off proportions softened by consistently rounded corners. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and corners, giving round letters a structured, boxy feel rather than a purely circular one. Strokes are uniform and dense, with tight, compact counters (notably in a/e/s/8) and robust joins that keep forms solid at large sizes. The lowercase is straightforward and single-storey where expected (a, g), and the overall spacing and shapes read as intentionally blunt and sturdy.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display where its dense weight and compact counters stay clear and impactful. It works well for branding, packaging, and signage that needs a strong, friendly block of text, and can also serve in UI or labels when used at comfortable sizes with ample spacing.
The tone is bold and direct while staying approachable thanks to the softened corners. It feels contemporary and practical, with a no-nonsense, workmanlike presence that can also come across as playful in headline settings due to its chunky, rounded geometry.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact with a controlled, geometric system: sturdy letterforms, softened corners for warmth, and compact internal spaces for a bold, logo-ready silhouette.
Round letters like O/Q/C/S appear slightly squarish, emphasizing a rounded-rectangle skeleton. Numerals are similarly compact and heavy, with the 0 and 8 especially wide and solid, contributing to strong sign-like visibility.
