Sans Superellipse Gykan 2 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Nicomedia' by Artegra, 'Mercurial' by Grype, 'ITC Handel Gothic' and 'ITC Handel Gothic Arabic' by ITC, 'RBNo3.1' by René Bieder, 'Sans Beam' by Stawix, and 'Obvia Wide' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and smoothly radiused corners throughout. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and counters, while joins stay crisp and orthogonal, giving letters a machined, modular feel. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and the proportions favor broad, stable forms with a tall lowercase presence and compact apertures. Numerals and capitals share the same squared-round logic, producing an even, sign-like rhythm in both short labels and large display settings.
Best suited to logos, branding, headlines, posters, and packaging where strong silhouette and high impact are needed. The squared-rounded shapes also fit UI titles, game graphics, sports identities, and environmental/signage-style typography, especially at medium to large sizes where the compact apertures stay clear.
The overall tone is bold, technical, and assertive, with a modern, engineered character. Its rounded-square geometry reads futuristic and sporty, suggesting performance, hardware, and contemporary interfaces rather than editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to merge geometric, rounded-square construction with a sturdy display weight, creating a contemporary sans optimized for presence and quick recognition. Its consistent stroke system and superellipse-driven curves suggest an aim for a clean, industrial aesthetic that remains friendly at the corners.
Round forms such as O/Q and the lowercase bowls emphasize squarish counters, while diagonals in letters like A, K, V, W, X, and Y add sharp energy without breaking the soft-corner theme. The punctuation and dots appear sturdy and prominent, reinforcing a utilitarian, high-impact voice.
