Sans Superellipse Higiz 3 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Albireo' by Cory Maylett Design, 'Burger Honren' by IRF Lab Studio, 'Cairoli Classic' by Italiantype, and 'Cargi' by Studio Principle Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, condensed sans with heavy vertical emphasis and broadly uniform stroke thickness. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squared bowls and softened corners rather than circular forms. Counters are tight and apertures are restrained, giving letters a dense, poster-ready color. Terminals are mostly blunt and flat, and the overall rhythm is steady and mechanical, with a few glyphs showing slightly idiosyncratic proportions to maintain readability at narrow widths.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and bold packaging where compact width and strong weight are advantages. It can also work for labels, section headers, and identity lockups that need a condensed, forceful sans.
The font reads assertive and utilitarian, with a no-nonsense presence that feels industrial and slightly retro. Its compressed stance and solid shapes create a commanding tone suited to attention-grabbing communication rather than quiet nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using superellipse-based curves and flat terminals to create a sturdy, industrial display voice with dependable legibility in large sizes.
In the text sample, the dark texture builds quickly, so generous tracking and line spacing help maintain clarity. The squared, rounded-corner construction stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, keeping the family’s voice cohesive in mixed settings.
