Sans Superellipse Honel 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Rigid Square' by Dharma Type, 'Neogrotesk' by Los Andes, 'Helvetica Now' by Monotype, and 'Eurostile' and 'Eurostile Round' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with uniform stroke weight and softened corners throughout. Curves and counters tend toward rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and apertures a squarish, superellipse feel rather than true circles. Proportions are compact with broad, stable bases and short-looking descenders; terminals are clean and unmodulated, producing a dense, even rhythm. The numerals follow the same rounded-rectilinear construction, with large interior counters and blunt joins that keep shapes clear at a glance.
This font performs best in large sizes where its chunky geometry and rounded corners become a recognizable voice—headlines, posters, brand marks, labels, and wayfinding. It can work for short UI labels or callouts where high presence is desired, but its dense color is most comfortable when used sparingly rather than for long reading.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It reads as contemporary and functional—assertive without feeling sharp—suited to straightforward messaging that needs impact and clarity.
The design appears intended to combine strong display impact with approachable geometry, using rounded-rectangle forms to create a distinctive, contemporary silhouette. Its consistent weight and simplified shapes prioritize clarity and reproducibility across bold, attention-grabbing applications.
Round letters like O/Q/C show distinctly squared curvature, and the lowercase forms lean toward simplified, single-storey constructions that reinforce a geometric, signage-like character. The texture in paragraphs is dark and solid, with strong presence even in mixed-case text.
