Sans Superellipse Hilis 2 is a bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Carrosserie' by Letterwerk, 'PF Eef' by Parachute, and 'Karben 105' by Talbot Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact sans with heavy, even strokes and a tall, condensed stance. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than purely circular geometry. Terminals are generally blunt, with subtly softened corners, and the overall drawing favors straight-sided structure and tight interior spaces. The uppercase appears sturdy and uniform, while the lowercase keeps the same condensed rhythm with short extenders and simple, built-up shapes.
Best suited to short, prominent text where density and punch are assets—headlines, posters, signage, labels, and branded lockups. It can also work for interface labels or navigation at larger sizes, where its condensed width helps fit text into limited space while keeping a strong visual hierarchy.
The font reads as practical and assertive, with a contemporary, industrial edge. Its squared-round curves and dense color create a confident, workmanlike tone that feels geared toward impact and clarity rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, using squared-round construction to keep forms friendly enough for display while remaining rigid and functional. The consistent stroke and compact proportions prioritize bold, structured readability in attention-driven settings.
Spacing and counters are relatively tight in the bold weight shown, so texture becomes dark and continuous in longer lines. Numerals and capitals share the same compact, engineered geometry, helping mixed text maintain a consistent, solid presence.
