Sans Superellipse Gimik 2 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Chortler' by FansyType; 'Core Mellow' by S-Core; 'Yoshida Sans' and 'Yoshida Soft' by TypeUnion; and 'Orev', 'Orev Edge', and 'Robolt' by Typesketchbook (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with a blocky, superelliptical construction. Strokes stay consistently thick, with softly squared corners and rounded terminals that keep counters open despite the weight. Curves read as rounded-rectangle arcs rather than perfect circles, giving letters a compact, sculpted feel; bowls and shoulders are broad and stable, and joins are clean and simplified. The overall rhythm is sturdy and even, with slightly condensed interior spaces and a bold, poster-like texture in text.
Best suited to large sizes where its chunky forms and rounded geometry can read clearly—headlines, posters, identity systems, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when a friendly, high-contrast presence is needed, but the dense weight is most effective in display settings rather than long passages.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, combining a mid-century display sensibility with modern, geometric smoothness. Its chunky silhouettes and soft corners feel friendly and fun, while the uniform weight keeps it assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a softened, approachable edge—using superelliptical shapes to create a distinctive, contemporary take on retro display lettering while maintaining clear, simplified letterforms.
Round letters like O and 0 appear as squarish ovals with generous rounding, reinforcing the superellipse theme. Numerals are bold and graphic, built from the same rounded-rectangle logic, and punctuation adopts the same stout proportions for a consistent color across lines.
