Sans Superellipse Onnef 3 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Phatthana' by Jipatype, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'Myers Sans' by T-26 (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy geometric sans built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle counters, giving many letters a superelliptical, “soft-square” skeleton. Strokes are monolinear with blunt terminals and consistent corner radii, producing a tight, engineered rhythm. Uppercase forms are compact and boxy (notably C, D, O, Q), while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sharply cut and slightly more dynamic. The lowercase keeps a sturdy, functional build with single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a fairly plain i/j with square dots; numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry with a squared, framed 0 and angular 4/7.
Best suited to display roles where its compact, squared curves and strong silhouettes can read cleanly: headlines, brand marks, product identities, posters, and tech-forward packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when generous spacing is available, as the tight apertures and boxy counters benefit from breathing room.
The font reads as modern and technical, with a controlled, machine-made feel softened by rounded corners. Its geometry suggests interfaces, devices, and modular systems rather than editorial warmth, balancing assertiveness with a friendly, softened square aesthetic.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric voice rooted in rounded-rectangle construction, emphasizing consistency, modularity, and a distinctly technical silhouette. Its softened corners temper the rigidity of the square forms, aiming for a futuristic look that remains approachable.
Distinctive identification cues include the boxed, rounded-square O/0 family, the compact G with a squared inner notch, and a Q with a small, blocky tail. Apertures tend to be narrow and counters often feel inset like cutouts, which reinforces a fabricated, digital impression.
