Sans Superellipse Otmap 2 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Campione Neue' and 'Kensmark' by BoxTube Labs, 'Monton' by Larin Type Co, 'PF Eef' by Parachute, and 'Karben 105' and 'Karben 205' by Talbot Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and tightly controlled curves. Strokes appear largely uniform, with squared terminals softened by consistent corner rounding, giving counters a squarish, superellipse feel. The letters are vertically stressed and condensed, with tall proportions and relatively tight apertures; bowls and shoulders are kept compact and sturdy. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, with simple, bold forms and clear interior counters.
Best suited to display typography where a dense, high-impact look is desired—headlines, poster typography, packaging callouts, labels, and bold branding. The condensed footprint helps fit more characters per line while maintaining a strong presence, making it effective for signage-style messaging and short bursts of text.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, mixing a modern, engineered solidity with a slightly retro athletic flavor. Its compact width and dark color create an urgent, attention-grabbing voice suited to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a compact width, using rounded-rect geometry for a controlled, industrial feel. It prioritizes bold legibility and punch at large sizes, with simplified, sturdy letterforms that keep texture consistent across mixed-case and numerals.
Round forms (like O, C, G, Q) read as squared ovals rather than perfect circles, and many joins are deliberately sturdy, emphasizing density over delicacy. The lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, with single-storey a and g and minimal detailing, keeping the rhythm consistent at display sizes.
