Sans Superellipse Higoz 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Offroad' by Grype, 'Handmade Gothic JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Hornsea FC' by Studio Fat Cat, 'Goodland' by Swell Type, 'Interrupt Display Pro' by T4 Foundry, and 'Bikemberg' and 'Raskolnikov' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like curves and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are monolinear and dense, producing compact counters and a strong, even color in text. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) read as rounded rectangles, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are sharp and geometric. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with short crossbars and flattened terminals that emphasize a tall, stacked silhouette.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its dense weight and condensed width can maximize impact in limited space. It works well for posters, packaging, signage, and bold branding systems that benefit from a geometric, industrial voice, and it can also serve as a strong typographic accent in UI labels or section headers.
The overall tone is bold and functional, with a retro-industrial and techno flavor. Its squared curves and compressed proportions feel engineered and sign-like, projecting confidence and urgency rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with minimal ornament, using rounded-rectangle construction and compact proportions for a modern, machine-made look. It prioritizes punchy legibility at display sizes and a consistent, uniform texture across mixed-case and numerals.
The uppercase is especially architectural, with rectangular counters (notably in A, B, D, P, R) and a distinctly squared Q tail. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, creating a cohesive, display-forward set that stays visually consistent across letters and figures.
