Sans Superellipse Hiray 2 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Tungsten' by Hoefler & Co., 'CG Triumvirate' by Monotype, and 'Kenyan Coffee' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with tightly packed proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are uniform and dense, with minimal modulation and mostly squared terminals softened by small corner radii. Counters are narrow and vertically emphasized, and the overall rhythm is rigid and columnar, giving words a stacked, space-efficient texture. The lowercase is built with simple, sturdy forms (single-storey a and g), and the numerals follow the same condensed, squared-off logic for a consistent set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold UI or editorial callouts where compact width and strong silhouette are advantages. It also fits signage and branding systems that need an industrial, high-impact voice, especially in short phrases, labels, and identifiers.
The tone is forceful and workmanlike, reading as utilitarian and industrial with a contemporary, poster-oriented punch. Its compressed mass and softened corners strike a balance between stern signage energy and a slightly friendly, molded look.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and space efficiency, delivering a condensed, high-density texture without decorative detail. Rounded corners and rectangular curves suggest a deliberate modernized take on bold grotesque/industrial letterforms for attention-heavy display work.
At display sizes the uniform, superellipse-like curves and tight apertures create a strong silhouette, while in longer lines the dense color can feel insistent. The design’s consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures makes it especially effective when set in short bursts or repeated patterns.
