Sans Superellipse Sinaj 3 is a bold, very narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Peristyle' and 'Tungsten' by Hoefler & Co., 'Krueger' by Maulana Creative, and 'Denso Sans High' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, tightly condensed display face with strong vertical emphasis and compact sidebearings. Strokes are largely monolinear with subtle modulation, pairing straight stems with smoothly rounded bowls and squared-off terminals that read as softly chamfered rather than sharp. Curves lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry, giving counters a squarish, controlled feel in letters like O, C, and G. The lowercase is compact with short extenders and a small, neat shoulder structure, while punctuation and numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast-in-spots rhythm for a dense, column-like texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and large-scale settings where its condensed width can fit long titles into tight spaces. It also works well for mastheads, packaging fronts, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a tall, compact, high-impact presence. In small text, its dense texture and narrow apertures are more likely to feel tight, so it’s strongest when given size and breathing room.
The overall tone is confident and attention-seeking, with a disciplined, architectural rhythm. Its compressed proportions and controlled curves evoke classic headline typography with a contemporary, streamlined edge, making it feel authoritative and slightly dramatic without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact per line with a tall condensed structure and controlled rounded geometry. It prioritizes a strong vertical rhythm and a clean, modern silhouette for display typography where space efficiency and a commanding voice are key.
The face maintains a consistent narrow silhouette across the alphabet, but certain letters (notably M/W and some diagonals) expand just enough to preserve internal space and legibility. Round letters stay compact with squarish counters, and terminals remain clean and unembellished, reinforcing a minimalist, display-forward character.
