Sans Superellipse Otnuj 3 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Charles Wright' by K-Type, 'Nulato' by Stefan Stoychev, and 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with squared-round construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle counters and terminals, while straight strokes stay crisp and vertical. Strokes are monoline and dense, producing dark, even texture in text. Apertures are relatively tight and counters are squared-off, with minimal modulation and a generally engineered, no-nonsense rhythm. The lowercase is compact with short extenders, and numerals follow the same squared-round geometry for a consistent, blocky set.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can work well for signage, packaging, product labels, and UI/branding moments that benefit from a sturdy, engineered feel, especially at moderate-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is practical and industrial—more like labeling, equipment markings, or wayfinding than editorial warmth. Its chunky geometry and tight apertures feel assertive and functional, with a contemporary technical flavor rather than a humanist or calligraphic one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum legibility and presence through compact proportions and squared-round forms, creating a robust sans that reads as modern, technical, and utilitarian.
Round letters (like O/C/G) read as superelliptical shapes rather than circles, which gives the face a distinctly constructed look. In longer lines, the heavy weight and tight counters create a strong, poster-like color that favors emphasis over delicate nuance.
