Sans Superellipse Otdab 2 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Mercurial' by Grype, 'Futo Sans' by HB Font, 'RBNo3.1' by René Bieder, 'Celdum' and 'Metral' by The Northern Block, and 'Obvia Wide' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact geometric sans with a squarish, superellipse construction and generously rounded corners. Strokes are even and dense, producing a solid color on the page with tight counters and a low-contrast, monoline feel. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q, S) read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, while straights and diagonals are crisp and cleanly joined. The uppercase is broad-shouldered and stable; the lowercase is simple and utilitarian with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and short, straightforward terminals.
Well-suited for modern branding, wordmarks, and bold headlines where a geometric, rounded-rect voice is desired. It can also work for UI labels, navigation, and product interfaces, especially in tech or industrial contexts, where its compact shapes and consistent geometry help maintain a strong, controlled look.
The overall tone is contemporary and engineered, leaning toward a tech-forward, industrial sensibility. Its rounded-rect geometry keeps it friendly, but the heavy, compact rhythm reads more functional than playful.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rectangle, engineered geometry into a clear, contemporary sans that feels robust and systemized. It prioritizes consistency of curve radius and stroke width to deliver a confident display presence with a modern, product-oriented character.
Numbers and capitals appear particularly strong and signage-like, with consistent corner radii that create a cohesive, modular system. The bold texture and tight apertures suggest best performance at display and UI sizes where its blocky forms and rounded corners can be appreciated without clogging.
