Sans Superellipse Sodah 2 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Railroad Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'EF Radiant' by Elsner+Flake, 'Handbills And Posters JNL' and 'Peppermill JNL' by Jeff Levine, and 'Haettenschweiler' by Microsoft Corporation (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and tightly packed counters. Forms are built from straight strokes and rounded-rectangle curves, giving bowls and terminals a squared-off, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Stroke joins are crisp and the interior shapes are narrow, producing a dense color and strong vertical rhythm. Uppercase construction is simple and geometric, while lowercase uses single‑storey a and g and a small, high dot on i/j, maintaining a consistent, engineered texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and brand marks where dense letterforms create a powerful silhouette. It can also work for punchy subheads or callouts in editorial layouts, especially when ample tracking or generous line spacing is available.
The overall tone is bold and commanding with a pragmatic, no-nonsense attitude. Its condensed massing and squared rounding evoke industrial signage and mid-century display typography, reading as confident, direct, and slightly retro.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while keeping shapes clean, geometric, and highly repeatable. The rounded-rectangle construction suggests a deliberate move toward a modern, engineered look that remains legible and consistent at display sizes.
Round letters like O/Q/C show vertically oriented, rounded-rectangle bowls, and the numerals follow the same compact geometry with thick stems and tight apertures. Diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are steep and weighty, reinforcing the font’s strong, poster-like rhythm.
