Sans Superellipse Hidaz 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Astoria Sans' by Alan Meeks, 'Aspira' by Durotype, 'Belle Sans' by Park Street Studio, 'MaryTodd' by TipoType, and 'Ligurino' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are largely monoline, with broad, closed counters and sturdy terminals that keep forms dense and highly graphic. Curves are squarish rather than circular, and joins are smooth and blunt, producing a consistent, uniform texture across words. Uppercase shapes read solid and architectural, while lowercase maintains simple, sturdy forms with a prominent dot on i/j and a single-storey a.
Best suited to display settings where a dense, high-impact voice is needed: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and wayfinding/signage. It can also work for short UI labels or badges where robustness and quick recognition matter more than airy readability.
The overall tone is bold and self-assured, mixing utilitarian sturdiness with a slightly playful softness from the rounded geometry. It feels contemporary and industrial, yet approachable—more “signage and packaging” than “formal editorial.”
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact footprint, using superelliptical, rounded-rectangle forms to create a cohesive, modern look that stays friendly while remaining assertive and highly legible at larger sizes.
The tight interior spaces and compact proportions create strong color on the page, especially in longer lines. Numerals are hefty and straightforward, matching the same rounded-square logic as the letters for a cohesive, logo-like presence.
