Sans Superellipse Pimum 2 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'FF Clan' and 'FF Good Headline' by FontFont, 'Marteau' by Little Giant, and 'Polate' and 'Polate Soft' by Typesketchbook (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed sans with tall proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are largely monolinear with rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) counters, giving curves a squarish softness rather than circular geometry. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, with occasional notch-like cut-ins and tight joints that read like subtle ink-trap shaping in letters such as S, a, and g. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and simplified, high-shouldered forms that keep apertures relatively narrow. Numerals and capitals follow the same compressed, block-forward construction for a consistent, impactful texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where compact width and high impact are beneficial. It can also work for logos and bold labeling that needs a tall, condensed voice, though the dense texture suggests keeping body copy short or set with generous tracking and leading.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a retro display flavor that recalls signage and headline typography. Its compressed width and dense color make it feel urgent and attention-grabbing, while the softened rectangular curves keep it friendly enough to avoid harshness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space: a condensed, high-impact sans built around rounded-rectangle forms for consistency and strong legibility at display sizes. The slight notch/joint shaping suggests practical attention to how the forms hold up when printed large or reproduced in bold applications.
Spacing in the samples reads fairly tight, reinforcing a dark, continuous typographic color at text sizes. The design leans on verticals and compact bowls, producing a strong columnar cadence in words; curves tend to flatten at extremes, and diagonals (V/W/X) remain stout and stable rather than razor-sharp.
