Sans Superellipse Mylu 3 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Midnight Sans' by Colophon Foundry, 'Amsi Grotesk' by Stawix, and 'Nimbus Sans L' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly chamfered corners. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a strong, compact rhythm. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls and squared terminals; joins are blunt and stable, and the overall silhouette reads as rectangular and tightly controlled. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, keeping lines visually even and tightly packed, while numerals and caps maintain the same stout, block-like presence.
Best suited to display settings where strong emphasis is needed—headlines, poster typography, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when set with generous tracking and ample size to preserve counter clarity.
The tone is assertive and pragmatic, with a retro sign-paint and industrial feel. Its softened corners keep the weight from feeling harsh, giving it a friendly-but-firm, poster-ready voice that suggests impact and immediacy.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in a compact footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to balance toughness with approachability. It prioritizes a consistent, blocky texture that holds together in large, attention-grabbing text.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, and the thick strokes make inner spaces small, which boosts presence at display sizes. The superelliptical bowls and squared-off terminals create a consistent, logo-like texture across both uppercase and lowercase.
