Sans Superellipse Pemin 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Galeana' by Latinotype, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, 'Conthey' by ROHH, and 'Headlines' by TypeThis!Studio (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and strongly rounded-rectangle construction. Curves are squared-off into superellipse-like bowls, producing broad flats and tight counters, while terminals end bluntly with minimal modulation. Proportions emphasize verticality: tall lowercase with short extenders, narrow rounds, and tight apertures that keep the silhouette dense. The overall rhythm is punchy and consistent, with simple geometry and minimal detailing across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding, packaging, and wayfinding where dense letterforms can create a strong typographic block. It can work for subheads and callouts at moderate sizes, but the tight counters and condensed width make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is bold and assertive, with a utilitarian, workmanlike feel. Its rounded corners soften the mass just enough to feel approachable, but the narrow, packed shapes keep it forceful and attention-grabbing. The result reads as contemporary-industrial with a slight retro display flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rect geometry to create a distinctive, sturdy voice. It prioritizes uniform weight, compact spacing, and simplified construction for clear, bold statements in display typography.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms where applicable (notably the “a”), and several glyphs lean on squared bowls (e.g., C/O/Q) for a distinctive, compact texture. Numerals follow the same dense, rounded-rect geometry, maintaining a consistent, poster-ready color across mixed text.
