Sans Superellipse Kefi 3 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Rigid Square' by Dharma Type, 'Futo Sans' by HB Font, 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type, 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'Metral' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, forward-leaning sans with squared-round (superellipse) construction and softly chamfered corners. Strokes are uniformly thick, with compact, rectangular counters and generous interior rounding that keeps the texture smooth despite the mass. Terminals tend to cut on angled planes, reinforcing the slanted rhythm, while several joins show subtle notches/ink-trap-like scoops that sharpen the silhouette at small junctions. Overall spacing reads sturdy and slightly condensed in the bowls, producing a dense, continuous stripe of black in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact text: athletic identities, event posters, product marks, streaming thumbnails, and bold editorial headers. It also works for punchy UI labels or wayfinding-style callouts when a compact, fast, modern voice is desired, but its density makes it less ideal for long-form reading.
The tone is fast and forceful—more “performance” than “neutral.” Its oblique stance and blocky geometry suggest speed, machinery, and contemporary sports branding, with a slightly sci‑fi edge from the rounded-rectangle forms and clipped terminals.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence with a streamlined, speed-oriented slant and a consistent rounded-rectangle motif. The clipped terminals and small scooped details look intended to keep counters open and forms distinct under heavy weight, supporting strong display performance.
Uppercase forms are broad and stable, with rounded-rectangular O/Q shapes and a crisp, angular tail on the Q. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic and appear designed for impact in large sizes, with distinctive, cut-in details that help differentiate similar shapes in bold settings.
