Sans Superellipse Lupu 2 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Basketball' by Evo Studio, 'Block Capitals' and 'Wildcat' by K-Type, 'MVB Diazo' by MVB, 'Hyperspace Race Capsule' by Swell Type, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly blunted corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing a dense, blocky color and a tight internal rhythm. Counters tend toward squared apertures (notably in B, O, P, Q, and 8), while curves are rendered as superellipse-like bowls rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly rounded and squared-off, and joints are simplified, giving diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) a sturdy, slightly geometric feel. Figures match the letters’ chunky proportions, with enclosed, boxy counters and clear, graphic silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a thick, compact voice is needed. It can work well for packaging, sports or event graphics, and game or app UI titles, especially when a friendly, geometric look is desired. For long passages, its dense weight and tight counters are more effective as display typography than as continuous text.
The overall tone is bold and approachable—playful rather than formal—combining a retro sign-painting heft with a modern, game/UI-like geometry. Its rounded corners and squared counters create a friendly, toy-like personality while still reading as purposeful and tech-adjacent.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a cohesive, high-impact display sans. It emphasizes strong legibility through simplified shapes and consistent stroke mass, aiming for a distinctive, contemporary-retro voice that remains easy to set in short, punchy lines.
The typeface favors strong silhouettes and simplified construction over delicate detailing, which helps it hold together in short words and headings. The punctuation shown (including the ampersand and question mark) follows the same rounded-rectangle logic, keeping the system visually cohesive.
