Sans Superellipse Oldod 2 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Gravitica Compressed' by Ckhans Fonts, 'FF Good' by FontFont, 'Marteau' by Little Giant, 'PODIUM Sharp' by Machalski, and 'Milky Bar' by Malgorzata Bartosik (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, tightly set sans with heavy, monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves and corners are softened into superellipse-like forms, giving bowls and counters a squared-off roundness rather than true circles. Proportions are strongly compressed with compact sidebearings, and many letters show narrow apertures and enclosed counters. Terminals are blunt and rounded, with a steady, even stroke and minimal modulation, producing a dense, uniform texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and brand marks where a condensed, weighty voice is needed. It can also work for signage or interface display text when space is limited and strong emphasis is desired, but the dense counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian with a friendly edge: sturdy, condensed letterforms that feel poster-ready and slightly retro. The rounded corners and boxy curves keep it from feeling harsh, adding a playful, approachable character despite the dense weight.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing a condensed skeleton with soft, rounded geometry for a distinctive, modernized display look. Its consistent stroke and squared-round forms prioritize bold legibility and graphic uniformity over delicate detail.
Distinctive features include tall ascenders and a consistent vertical emphasis, plus compact joins that create dark pockets in letters like a, e, and s. Numerals follow the same compressed, rounded-rect logic, maintaining a cohesive rhythm alongside the letters.
