Sans Superellipse Upgo 3 is a bold, very wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Arian', 'Eurostile Next', and 'Eurostile Next Paneuropean' by Linotype; 'Bi Bi', 'Novin', and 'Parsi' by Naghi Naghachian; and 'Eurostile Round' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, wide sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout: bowls and counters read as soft superellipses, while terminals are cleanly cut and consistently rounded. Curves are smoothly controlled with minimal stroke modulation, producing a stable, even color in text. Uppercase forms are broad and sturdy with generous interior space, and round letters like C, G, O, and Q feel more squared than circular. Lowercase is simple and modern, with single-story a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a compact, squared dot on i/j that reinforces the geometric theme. Numerals follow the same softened-rectilinear logic, with open, wide shapes and flattened curves that stay highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and other high-impact applications where width and weight can create presence. It also works well for large UI labels, product naming, and tech or automotive-style graphic systems that benefit from geometric clarity. For long-form reading, it will be most comfortable when used sparingly (e.g., section titles) due to its strong, wide voice.
The overall tone is modern and assertive, with a distinctly engineered, tech-facing personality. Rounded corners keep it approachable, while the broad proportions and solid weight add confidence and impact. The geometric consistency gives it a contemporary, UI-and-product feel rather than a humanist or editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, geometric sans optimized for bold display work, using superelliptical rounds and consistent corner radii to create a cohesive, modern system. It aims for high legibility through wide counters and simplified lowercase construction while maintaining a distinctive, engineered silhouette.
Spacing appears designed for strong display presence: the wide letterforms and large counters prevent the weight from clogging, especially in the sample text. Diagonal-heavy letters (K, V, W, X, Y) keep crisp joins and straight-sided geometry, contrasting with the softened bowls for a balanced rhythm. The Q’s short tail and the squared, rounded-rectangle O/Q family emphasize the superelliptical design motif.
