Sans Superellipse Kuso 3 is a bold, very wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Midnight Sans' by Colophon Foundry, 'Tactic Round' and 'Tactic Sans' by Miller Type Foundry, and 'Beachwood' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, squared-round sans with superelliptical curves and rounded-rectangle counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are blunt with generous corner radii. The design leans horizontally, with broad capitals and wide, stable lowercase forms; bowls and apertures are compact, giving the letters a dense, engineered rhythm. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with clear, blocky silhouettes and softened corners.
Best suited to display typography where its wide proportions and squared-round construction can be appreciated—such as headlines, brand marks, product naming, posters, and packaging. It can also work for UI titles or dashboard labels when a sturdy, tech-forward voice is desired, though its density suggests reserving longer text for larger sizes.
The overall tone feels modern and machine-made, evoking digital interfaces, sci‑fi hardware, and streamlined industrial design. Its wide stance and softened corners balance toughness with approachability, reading as confident and performance-oriented rather than delicate or expressive.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, engineered aesthetic built from rounded-rectangle geometry, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a consistent modular system. It aims for impact and recognizability, pairing bold presence with softened corners to stay friendly while still feeling distinctly technological.
Distinctive details include squarish ‘O’/‘0’ shapes, a single-storey ‘a’ with a flat-topped feel, and a ‘Q’ with an angular tail that reinforces the techno geometry. The ‘t’ has a compact crossbar and the ‘f’ is similarly contained, helping keep lowercase texture tight in display settings.
