Sans Superellipse Pynoh 2 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Acumin' by Adobe, 'Reader Condensed' by Colophon Foundry, 'Newhouse DT' by DTP Types, and 'Jane Roe' by deFharo (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact sans with squared-round construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms, and corners stay softly radiused rather than fully circular. Strokes are consistently heavy and even, with clean terminals and minimal modulation. The letters run tall and tight, with relatively narrow bowls and apertures that remain clear at text sizes. Counters are rounded and stable, and the overall rhythm is uniform, producing a dense, efficient texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to space-conscious settings where strong legibility is needed: interface labels, navigation, wayfinding, and compact branding lockups. It also performs well in posters and bold editorial headings, where the dense texture and squared-round curves create a contemporary, controlled impact.
The tone is modern and no-nonsense, emphasizing clarity and utility over personality. Its tight proportions and sturdy geometry feel contemporary and slightly industrial, projecting confidence and straightforwardness in both headlines and UI-style settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, compact sans voice with a softened geometric skeleton—maximizing legibility and consistency while adding a subtle rounded-rectangle character that distinguishes it from purely circular geometrics.
Round letters like O/C/G read more superelliptical than circular, giving the font a distinctive squared softness. The lowercase shows simple, workmanlike shapes with a single-storey a and g, and the numerals follow the same compact, heavy, squared-round logic for consistent color across mixed text.
