Sans Superellipse Onden 3 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Nomenclatur Mono' by Aronetiv, 'Gravitica Mono' by Ckhans Fonts, and 'TT Commons™️ Pro' by TypeType (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, monospaced sans with a geometric, squared construction softened by rounded corners. Strokes are consistently thick with little visible contrast, producing a dense, even texture and strong vertical rhythm. Curves in letters like C, O, and S resolve into rounded-rectangle forms rather than true circles, while counters stay compact and squarish. Terminals are blunt and flat, and the overall proportions favor sturdy, simplified shapes optimized for uniform character widths.
Well-suited to code samples, terminal-style interfaces, and any layout requiring strict character alignment such as tables, forms, logs, or dashboards. It also works for compact labels and technical packaging where a rugged, high-impact monospaced voice is desirable.
The tone is functional and matter-of-fact, with a clear nod to machine labeling and retro terminal aesthetics. Its chunky geometry and tight counters give it an industrial, no-nonsense presence that reads as practical and engineered rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to provide a robust monospaced texture with geometric, rounded-rectangle letterforms that remain legible under tight spacing. The simplified construction and consistent weight suggest an emphasis on clarity, alignment, and a distinctly technical visual identity.
The numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry and maintain strong consistency with the capitals and lowercase. The lowercase includes single-story forms (notably a and g), reinforcing a streamlined, contemporary-mechanical feel. At text sizes the face creates a dark, stable color, with clear separation between characters driven by monospaced spacing rather than delicate details.
