Sans Superellipse Higoz 3 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Mercurial' by Grype, 'Sans Beam' by Stawix, 'Robusta' by Tilde, and 'Great Escape' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with a squared-round (superellipse) construction throughout. Strokes are uniform and dense, with tight apertures and rounded-rectangle counters that keep letters feeling solid and contained. Terminals are mostly flat with softened corners, and the curves in C, G, O, and S read more like rounded boxes than true circles. The overall rhythm is vertical and condensed, with a strong baseline presence and sturdy, tightly packed spacing in text.
Well suited for headlines, posters, and brand marks that need a compact, high-impact voice. The sturdy geometry also fits packaging, labels, and apparel graphics where a dense, blocky texture reads as strong and functional. In longer copy it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous leading.
The tone is bold and assertive, mixing industrial pragmatism with a slightly retro, arcade-like geometry. Its rounded corners keep the weight from feeling harsh, while the compact proportions add urgency and impact. Overall it feels utilitarian, headline-forward, and confidently mechanical.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual weight in minimal horizontal space while keeping a friendly, contemporary feel through rounded corners. The consistent superellipse geometry and tight apertures point to an intention of creating a robust display sans that remains cohesive across letters and numerals.
Distinctive squared counters and narrow apertures emphasize a “stamped” or “molded” look, especially in letters like B, P, R, and e. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, maintaining a consistent, chunky texture. The density and tight internal spaces suggest best performance at medium to large sizes where interior shapes stay clear.
