Sans Superellipse Otnik 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Festivo Clean' and 'Festivo LC' by Ahmet Altun, 'Guida' by Colophon Foundry, and 'Cream Opera' by Factory738 (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly radiused corners throughout. Strokes stay broadly uniform, with squared terminals and minimal modulation, creating a solid, poster-like mass. Counters are tight and geometric, and curves tend toward superelliptical bowls rather than true circles. The rhythm is dense and vertical, with short joins and crisp, simplified details that hold up as bold silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, signage, and bold branding where space is limited but impact is needed. It also fits sports and fitness graphics, product packaging, and short, punchy editorial callouts, especially at medium-to-large sizes where its tight counters and dense color can breathe.
The font reads loud and no-nonsense, with a utilitarian, contemporary energy. Its condensed heft and squared geometry suggest strength and urgency, lending an athletic, industrial tone rather than a delicate or playful one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a compact width while keeping forms clean, geometric, and highly legible at a glance. The rounded-rectangle motif gives it a distinctive, contemporary voice without relying on decorative flourishes.
Round letters like O/Q show tall, rounded-rectangular bowls, while joins in forms such as M/N/W/V stay sharp and compact. The lowercase maintains the same squared, engineered feel, and the numerals are equally sturdy, with simple, high-contrast-to-background shapes designed for quick recognition.
