Sans Superellipse Ubbis 3 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Festivo Letters' by Ahmet Altun, 'European Sans Pro' by Bülent Yüksel, 'Knockout' by Hoefler & Co., and 'Sztos' by Machalski (names referenced only for comparison).
Keywords: headlines, posters, packaging, branding, signage, playful, rugged, bold, retro, handmade, display impact, friendly tone, retro flavor, handmade texture, blocky, rounded, compressed, chunky, soft corners.
A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, ink-like silhouettes and a strong vertical rhythm. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls, while joins and terminals feel slightly uneven and organic, as if cut or stamped rather than mechanically perfect. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and widths vary modestly across letters, creating a lively, slightly irregular texture in words and lines.
Best used at medium to large sizes where its dense weight and compact proportions can deliver impact without relying on fine detail. It works well for posters, bold editorial heads, packaging, badges, and brand marks that benefit from a friendly but rugged display voice. Shorter lines and generous tracking can help maintain clarity as counters tighten in heavier text.
The font reads as upbeat and tactile, mixing friendly rounded shapes with a rugged, poster-ready punch. Its compressed heft suggests a retro display attitude—confident, informal, and a bit mischievous—well suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
Likely designed to provide a high-impact display sans built from rounded-rectangle forms, combining strong readability with an intentionally imperfect, handmade edge. The goal appears to be a distinctive, compact headline face that feels approachable and retro while remaining structurally simple and consistent across letters and figures.
Uppercase forms are broad-shouldered and sturdy, with simplified geometry and closed, compact counters in letters like B, D, O, and P. Lowercase follows the same chunky logic, keeping shapes open enough for display use while retaining a distinctly hand-pressed feel. Numerals match the overall mass and rounded-corner construction, maintaining consistent color in mixed settings.
