Sans Superellipse Orlom 2 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'PODIUM Sharp' by Machalski, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, and 'Buyan' by Yu Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, compact sans with a strongly rectilinear construction softened by rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and heavy, producing solid black shapes and minimal internal counters. Curves resolve into squared-off bowls and superellipse-like forms, with consistent radii and a tight, efficient rhythm. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, and the overall spacing favors a dense, vertical texture suited to stacked lines and tight settings.
Works best for headlines, posters, and branding where dense, high-impact letterforms are desired. It suits signage, packaging, labels, and interface/industrial UI elements that benefit from compact width and strong silhouettes. In longer text, it is likely most effective at larger sizes or in short bursts such as pull quotes and subheads.
The tone is direct and workmanlike, with a contemporary industrial feel. Its squared curves and compact proportions suggest machinery, labeling, and engineered systems rather than casual or expressive writing. The overall impression is confident and no-nonsense, with a slight retro-tech flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using a consistent rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms uniform and easily reproducible. Its heavy, squared curves and blunt terminals prioritize clarity of silhouette and a modern utilitarian aesthetic.
Round letters like O and Q read as rounded rectangles, while diagonals (V, W, Y) keep sharp, decisive joins that reinforce a sturdy silhouette. Numerals are similarly compact and blocky, maintaining the same squared-curve logic for a cohesive alphanumeric palette.
