Sans Superellipse Hulih 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Midnight Sans' by Colophon Foundry, 'Muller Next' by Fontfabric, 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type, 'Radio Station JNL' by Jeff Levine, and 'Palo' by TypeUnion (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry. Strokes stay essentially monoline with broad, blunt joins, and many terminals are softly rounded rather than sharp. Counters are tight and often vertically oriented, giving letters a dense, stacked rhythm. Curves read as superelliptical—more like rounded boxes than true circles—while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are thick and assertive. The overall silhouette is tall and compressed, designed to hold together as solid black shapes at larger sizes.
Best suited to short-form settings such as headlines, posters, sports or event graphics, product packaging, and bold brand marks where the dense, condensed shapes create strong presence. It can also work for signage and labels that need high visual impact at a distance.
The tone is bold and utilitarian with a retro cast—confident, loud, and slightly playful due to the softened corners. It suggests signage and headline typography where impact matters more than delicacy, with a straightforward, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectangle forms to keep the texture friendly while remaining forceful. Its consistent, blocky construction emphasizes legibility and graphic punch in display sizes.
Round letters like O and Q feel squarish in their outer contour, reinforcing a geometric, engineered personality. The lowercase includes single-storey forms and short ascenders/descenders relative to the heavy weight, which increases the compact, billboard-like density in text. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded-rect logic for a consistent headline texture.
