Sans Superellipse Oflim 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Miura' by DSType, 'Fact' by ParaType, and 'Fishmonger' by Suitcase Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from compact, rounded-rectangle forms with soft corners and a consistently heavy stroke. Curves are squarish and superelliptical rather than purely circular, giving bowls and counters a boxy, machined feel. Terminals are blunt and rounded, joins are clean, and the overall rhythm is tight with short apertures and generous internal rounding. Lowercase forms read as simplified, single‑storey constructions with sturdy stems and minimal detailing, while figures follow the same blocky, rounded geometry for strong visual unity.
It performs best in display settings where its heavy, rounded-square forms can create impact—headlines, posters, packaging, and branding marks. It also works well for labels and short UI badges where a friendly but emphatic voice is needed, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining a toy-like softness with a utilitarian, industrial solidity. It feels retro and poster-driven, with a slightly condensed, assertive voice that reads as confident rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a soft-edged geometric system—prioritizing immediate recognition and a distinctive, rounded-rect silhouette over fine detail. Its consistent superelliptical construction suggests a focus on bold, modern signage and graphic applications with a retro-leaning personality.
Because many shapes rely on tight apertures and compact counters, it is most visually effective when given breathing room in tracking and line spacing. The design’s rounded-square logic is very consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive “tile-like” texture in headlines.
