Sans Superellipse Hirot 3 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Nue Archimoto' by Owl king project, 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'Monbloc' by Rui Nogueira (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms and squared counters, producing a distinctly superelliptical skeleton. Strokes are consistently heavy with softened corners and flat terminals, creating strong, uniform color in text. Many curves resolve into boxy arcs (notably in C, G, S, and 0), and bowls tend toward squarish interiors with tight apertures. Lowercase shares the same construction, with sturdy stems, minimal modulation, and simple joins; punctuation and figures follow the same squared, rounded logic for a cohesive, modular rhythm.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, posters, and branding marks where the squared-rounded geometry can anchor a strong visual identity. It also fits product packaging, tech-themed graphics, and gaming or interface-style layouts, especially when set with a bit of extra spacing or at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels tech-forward and engineered—more machine-made than humanist—evoking digital interfaces, arcade-era display lettering, and industrial labeling. Its rounded corners keep the mood friendly enough to avoid harshness, while the dense shapes still read as assertive and functional.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a sturdy, contemporary alphabet that reads as modular and system-oriented. Emphasis is placed on consistency of corner radii, squared counters, and bold presence to deliver impact in short phrases and titling.
At smaller sizes the closed counters and tight openings can reduce differentiation between similar shapes, so generous tracking and sufficient size help preserve clarity. The numerals and capitals are especially punchy and suited to prominent settings where the blocky geometry is a feature, not a compromise.
