Sans Superellipse Akva 2 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'EFCO Fairley' by Ephemera Fonts, 'Directory Board JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Enamela' by K-Type, 'Nulato' by Stefan Stoychev, and 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface uses a squared, superellipse-driven construction with rounded-rectangle bowls and softened corners throughout. Strokes are uniform and heavy, producing dense letterforms with compact counters and a steady, engineered rhythm. Curves tend to resolve into straight segments, giving C/G/O/Q and numerals a boxy, machined silhouette, while terminals are mostly flat and blunt. Proportions feel slightly tall and tight, with sturdy verticals and simplified joins that keep shapes crisp at a glance.
Best suited for display roles where a strong, engineered voice is desirable—headlines, posters, sports or tech branding, packaging, and environmental or wayfinding signage. It can also work for UI labels and dashboards when a compact, high-impact sans is needed, though long-form text may feel dense due to the heavy color and tight interior spaces.
The overall tone is industrial and technical, evoking instrumentation, equipment labeling, and contemporary sci‑fi interfaces. Its blocky geometry reads confident and no-nonsense, with a clean, modern edge rather than a friendly or calligraphic personality.
The design appears intended to translate geometric, rounded-rectangle motifs into a practical sans that stays bold and legible while projecting a modern, industrial character. Its consistent monoline weight and squared curves suggest a focus on systematized shapes that reproduce reliably across sizes and media.
Uppercase forms lean toward signage-like clarity with squared bowls (notably in B/D/P/R) and restrained diagonals in K/V/W/X/Y. Lowercase maintains the same rigid geometry, with single-storey a and g and a compact, squared e; punctuation and figures visually match the rounded-rectangular logic, supporting a cohesive system feel.
