Sans Superellipse Dumew 2 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Ramsey' by Associated Typographics, 'Mako' by Deltatype, 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, and 'Breuer Condensed' by TypeTrust (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed sans with a modular, superelliptical construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms and corners are consistently softened rather than fully circular. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal contrast and a firmly vertical stance. Counters tend to be compact and squared-off, and the overall rhythm is tight, producing a dense texture in text. Terminals are predominantly flat with rounded corners, and joins stay clean and controlled, emphasizing a machined, engineered feel.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and display settings where a compact, high-impact word shape is needed. It also fits wayfinding, labels, and packaging that benefit from an engineered, modern look and sturdy letterforms. For longer text, it will perform best at larger sizes where the tight counters and dense color can open up.
The tone is pragmatic and assertive, with an industrial clarity that reads as technical and no-nonsense. Its compact proportions and squared-round shapes suggest signage, labeling, and modern utility rather than warmth or calligraphic personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, space-efficient sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry—combining strong presence with a controlled, industrial polish for modern display and functional communication.
The superellipse logic is especially apparent in rounded letters and numerals, where bowls and corners feel like softened rectangles. In longer lines, the narrow set and heavy strokes create a strong, poster-like presence, so spacing and size choice will matter for comfortable reading.
