Sans Superellipse Sodes 3 is a bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cantiga' by Isaco Type, 'Beaumont' by Studio Buchanan, 'Newbery Sans Pro' by Sudtipos, and 'Indecise' by Tipo Pèpel (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, compact sans with heavy strokes and tightly controlled proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle forms rather than soft circles, giving counters an oblong, superellipse feel and keeping terminals clean and abrupt. The rhythm is vertical and columnar, with minimal modulation and generous, stable stems; punctuation and figures match the same sturdy, compressed geometry for a consistent texture.
Best suited to display sizes where its compact width and heavy color can create impactful headlines, poster titles, packaging callouts, and wayfinding or label-style signage. It can also work for short subheads and UI labels when a strong, space-saving voice is desired, but the dense texture is less ideal for long-form reading.
The overall tone is firm and no-nonsense, with an industrial confidence that reads as modern and efficient. Its compact width and dense color create a strong, commanding voice suited to messages that need to feel direct and assertive rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean, modern construction. By using rounded-rectangle curves and sturdy verticals, it aims for a controlled, industrial clarity that stays consistent across letters and numbers.
Round letters like O and Q appear more squared-off than purely oval, which increases the mechanical, engineered impression. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike construction, and the numerals share the same tall stance, reinforcing a cohesive, signage-like presence across mixed text.
