Sans Superellipse Yoka 2 is a very bold, very wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Mega' by Blaze Type, 'Muller Next' by Fontfabric, 'Cy Grotesk' and 'Cy Grotesk Std' by Kobuzan, and 'Astronef Std Super' by Typofonderie (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with very rounded rectangle construction and broad, squat proportions. Strokes are thick and uniform with smooth corners, giving counters a soft, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Several letters feature horizontal ink-trap-like notches and small interior cut-ins that create a sliced, stencil-adjacent look while keeping the silhouette largely solid. Spacing appears tight and the overall texture is dense, with compact apertures and robust numerals that match the caps in weight and presence.
Best used at large sizes where the cut-in details and rounded geometry can be clearly seen. It works well for posters, bold headlines, branding marks, packaging, and short punchy lines in entertainment, retro-themed, or youth-oriented design. In longer passages, the dense color and tight openings suggest using generous leading and ample size for clarity.
The tone is bold and friendly, leaning into a 1970s/arcade-era display sensibility. Its rounded mass and carved-in breaks add a fun, slightly quirky mechanical flavor that reads as energetic rather than formal. The overall impression is confident and attention-grabbing, suited to designs that want impact without sharp aggression.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that blends soft, rounded rectangle forms with deliberate carved notches to create a recognizable signature. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a compact, graphic texture that holds up in big, attention-demanding applications.
The notched details repeat across multiple glyphs (notably in forms like E, S, and several lowercase letters), creating a distinctive rhythm that becomes more apparent in continuous text. Curved letters (C, O, G, Q) are built from rounded rectangles, and the numerals maintain the same chunky geometry for consistent headline use.
