Sans Superellipse Gyral 2 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Poster Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Bike Tag JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Block Capitals' by K-Type, and 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction that gives counters and bowls a squared-off, softened look. Strokes stay essentially monoline, with broad, stable horizontals and verticals and consistently rounded outer corners. Curves resolve into flattened arcs, apertures tend to be compact, and joins are clean and somewhat modular, creating a blocky rhythm without feeling harsh. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy forms with single-storey shapes where applicable, and the numerals match the same squared, rounded geometry for a cohesive texture in mixed settings.
Best suited for high-impact display work where bold, geometric letterforms are an asset—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and short UI or wayfinding strings. Its dense shapes and compact apertures favor larger sizes and punchy messaging over long-form reading.
The overall tone feels contemporary and engineered—friendly through its softened corners, but assertive due to its dense weight and chunky silhouettes. It suggests a tech-forward, game-like sensibility that reads as modern signage or interface typography rather than traditional editorial text.
The design appears intended to blend hard-edged, modular geometry with softened corners, delivering a distinctive superellipse voice that feels both technical and approachable. It prioritizes immediate recognizability, strong presence, and visual consistency across alphanumerics for contemporary display-driven typography.
The font produces a strong, dark typographic color and maintains a consistent geometric logic across letters and figures, making it especially recognizable at a glance. Short internal spaces and squared counters emphasize solidity and punch, while the rounded terminals keep the forms approachable.
