Sans Superellipse Ormaf 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Coastal' by Arkitype, 'Albireo' and 'Albireo Soft' by Cory Maylett Design, and 'Highman' by Eko Bimantara (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with tall proportions and a compact footprint. Strokes are sturdy and largely uniform, with corners and curves resolved through rounded-rectangle logic that keeps bowls and counters tight and controlled. The overall drawing leans rectilinear—straight stems, flat terminals, and squared-off joins—while curved letters maintain a superelliptical softness rather than circular roundness. Apertures are relatively small and counters are compressed, producing dense word shapes and strong vertical rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and signage where space is limited but strong presence is needed. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefits from a compact, high-impact sans. For long passages of small text, the dense counters and tight rhythm are likely to feel heavy, but it excels in short bursts and display settings.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a no-nonsense, industrial clarity. Its condensed, dark texture reads as confident and attention-grabbing, leaning modern and pragmatic rather than friendly or delicate. The rounded-rectangle curves add a subtle contemporary polish to an otherwise tough, poster-forward voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using uniform, robust strokes and superelliptical rounding to keep forms modern and coherent. It prioritizes a strong, consistent silhouette and dense typographic color for display-driven communication.
In the sample text, the font forms an even, high-density typographic color that holds together well in large sizes, with pronounced verticality and strong stem emphasis. The condensed proportions make spacing feel tight, so lines appear compact and impactful. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same squared, compact construction, supporting a consistent system look across mixed content.
