Sans Superellipse Otmap 3 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Libertad Mono' by ATK Studio, 'Fester' by Fontfabric, and 'Decima Pro' and 'Decima Round' by TipografiaRamis (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes keep a broadly even weight, with tight interior counters and small apertures that emphasize a dense, poster-ready texture. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and rounded terminals, giving letters like O, C, and G a superelliptic feel, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) remain crisp and stable. The lowercase is simple and sturdy with short ascenders/descenders and a single-storey a; figures are wide-shouldered and blocklike, including an oval, countered zero.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and short emphatic copy where its compact width and heavy mass create strong presence. It can also work well for logos, labels, packaging, and signage, especially in bold, high-contrast layouts where a sturdy, modern sans is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, pairing a friendly rounded edge with an industrial, compressed urgency. It reads like signage or sports branding—confident, loud, and built for impact rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle geometry to balance toughness with approachability. Its simplified forms and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on clarity and repeatable shapes for branding and display applications.
Because the counters are tight and the joins are chunky, the face holds up best when given breathing room; dense settings can start to close up in letters like e, a, s, and 8. Uppercase and numerals feel especially uniform and modular, supporting a consistent, rhythmic headline line.
