Solid Egji 2 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Pantograph' by Colophon Foundry, 'Miso' by Mårten Nettelbladt, 'PT Sans Pro' by ParaType, 'Akwe Pro' by ROHH, and 'Coben' by cretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, tightly set display face built from soft, rounded strokes and compressed proportions. Terminals are bulbous and slightly irregular, giving the outlines a blobby, cutout-like feel rather than crisp geometry. Counters are frequently reduced or closed, with simplified interior shapes and compact apertures, producing dense silhouettes and strong black coverage. The rhythm is bouncy and uneven in a deliberate way, with idiosyncratic curves and joins that keep letters distinct even when simplified.
Best suited to short, high-impact display settings such as posters, headlines, playful branding, and packaging where dense silhouettes can read at larger sizes. It can also work for logo marks or product names that benefit from a quirky, retro-solid presence, but is less appropriate for extended small-size text due to the reduced interior openings.
The overall tone is playful and throwback, evoking a hand-cut poster or cartoon title look. Its chunky silhouettes and collapsed openings create a slightly mysterious, almost mask-like character that feels quirky and attention-seeking without being aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and personality in a compact width, using rounded, simplified forms and collapsed counters to create a distinctive solid silhouette. It prioritizes immediacy and character over neutrality and fine detail.
Round letters (like O/Q/0/8) read as bold, nearly oval blobs, while straighter forms (E/F/T/I/1) stay thick and softly squared. The dollar-store signage energy comes from the combination of compression, simplified counters, and the consistent pill-shaped rounding across the set.
