Sans Superellipse Olluw 3 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cadmium' by AVP, 'Kanyon' by Hurufatfont, and 'Schnebel Sans ME' and 'Schnebel Sans Pro' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and blunt terminals that keep counters open but tight. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls, giving letters a squared-off roundness; joins are sturdy and simplified, and diagonals feel slightly cropped for a dense, efficient silhouette. Spacing is relatively tight and the overall rhythm is vertical and compact, making the texture bold and uniform in lines of text.
Best suited for display typography where density and impact are desired: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and sports or industrial-themed graphics. It can work in short UI labels or signage when ample size and spacing are available, but its tight, heavy texture favors larger settings over extended reading.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a contemporary, engineered feel. Its rounded squareness reads friendly enough to avoid harshness, while still projecting strength and immediacy suited to attention-grabbing settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, using rounded-rect geometry to balance toughness with approachability. It prioritizes bold presence, quick recognition, and a coherent geometric system across letters and numerals.
In the samples, the heavy weight and compact proportions create strong word-shapes and a consistent “stamp-like” color on the page. The numerals match the same squared-round logic, staying sturdy and legible at display sizes with simplified geometry.
