Sans Superellipse Egsi 2 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype, 'MT Crisiant' by MysticalType, and 'Hype Vol 1' and 'Hype vol 3' by Positype (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed, right-leaning sans with tall proportions and compact counters. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, giving the letters a solid, poster-ready mass, while rounded corners and superelliptical curves keep shapes smooth rather than mechanical. The rhythm is vertical and compressed, with narrow apertures and economical spacing that creates a dense, continuous texture in words. Numerals and capitals follow the same upright-tall silhouette, producing a consistent, elongated line of text.
This face is well suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, storefront promos, and packaging callouts where a condensed footprint is useful. It also fits energetic branding—especially sports or performance-oriented identities—and works well for titling and display lines where a bold, slanted texture can carry the layout.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a sense of forward motion created by the strong slant and condensed build. It reads as sporty and attention-grabbing, leaning into a retro display energy reminiscent of racing, headlines, and bold promotional typography.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining smooth, rounded construction. Its heavy, condensed, oblique build prioritizes speed and emphasis, aiming for immediate recognition and strong typographic presence in display use.
Round letters (like O/C) appear as softened, rounded-rectangle forms, and joins/terminals stay clean and simple without decorative flourishes. The strong compression and stroke weight make the type visually striking, but the narrow apertures and dense word shapes suggest it benefits from generous tracking and larger sizes for comfortable reading.
