Sans Superellipse Ikrim 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Akkordeon' by Emtype Foundry, 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype, and 'Extenda' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A dense, blocky sans with strongly rounded, superellipse-like curves paired with straight, flat terminals. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be tight, creating a solid, ink-rich texture in text. Shapes are built from simple geometric masses with softened corners, giving round letters a squarish feel; diagonals and joins are kept sturdy, and overall spacing appears compact, reinforcing a bold, headline-forward rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and logo/wordmark explorations where a heavy, graphic voice is needed. It can work well for sports or entertainment branding, editorial display, and social media graphics that benefit from tight, high-impact letterforms. For long passages of small text, the tight counters and dense color may feel heavy, so it’s more effective as a display face than for extended reading.
This typeface projects a confident, punchy, attention-grabbing tone. Its heavy, compact silhouettes feel assertive and slightly playful, with a poster-like presence that reads as modern and streetwise rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact at large sizes while maintaining straightforward, no-nonsense construction. Its rounded-rectangle geometry suggests a deliberate balance between friendliness and force, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a cohesive, graphic texture over openness or finesse.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same compact, mass-forward construction, supporting a consistent “stamp” effect across mixed content. In the sample text, the type creates a near-solid typographic color, with word shapes distinguished more by outer contours than by interior openness.
