Sans Superellipse Iblir 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Neue Helvetica' and 'Neue Helvetica Paneuropean' by Linotype, 'Classic Grotesque' by Monotype, 'Europa Grotesk No. 2 SB' and 'Europa Grotesk No. 2 SH' by Scangraphic Digital Type Collection, 'Tablet Gothic' by TypeTogether, 'Palo' by TypeUnion, and 'Nimbus Sans Novus' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A dense, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners that keeps forms compact and highly legible. Strokes are broadly even, with minimal modulation, and counters tend to be small and tight, emphasizing dark mass and punch. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls and terminals, while joins stay clean and mostly vertical/horizontal, producing a steady, industrial rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel sturdy and squared-off; lowercase echoes this with short extenders and robust, simplified shapes.
Well suited to headlines and display typography where maximum impact is needed—posters, banners, product packaging, and branding marks. It can work for short callouts and UI badges at larger sizes, especially where a compact, high-contrast-on-page word shape is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and direct while still approachable, thanks to the rounded geometry and smooth terminals. It reads as contemporary and utilitarian, with a hint of retro signage energy and a “headline-first” confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, compact display voice using rounded-rectangle geometry—combining the authority of a heavy grotesque with softened corners for a more approachable, modern feel.
Spacing appears generous enough for large setting but the heavy color and tight counters suggest it performs best when not set too small. Round letters (like O/C/G) keep a consistent superelliptical logic, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) remain thick and stable, reinforcing an emphatic, poster-ready texture.
