Sans Superellipse Jiliw 3 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Expedition' by Aerotype, 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Quayzaar' by Test Pilot Collective, and 'Bananku' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle strokes and squarish counters. Corners are consistently softened, terminals are mostly blunt, and curves are expressed as broad superellipse turns rather than true circles. The proportions feel compact with tight apertures and generous interior cutouts, creating a strong, blocky texture in text. Distinctive constructions include a single-storey “a,” angular diagonals in “v/w/x,” and a squared “O/0” with rounded corners; figures and capitals share the same modular, signage-like skeleton.
Best suited to display settings where its strong silhouette and modular geometry can carry a graphic identity—headlines, branding, posters, packaging, and tech or gaming visuals. It can also work for UI labels and interface titling when a bold, digital-industrial voice is desired, while extended paragraphs may feel dense due to the compact openings and heavy texture.
The overall tone is futuristic and utilitarian, with a distinct arcade/console flavor. Its boxy rhythm and rounded corners evoke digital interfaces, sci‑fi branding, and industrial labeling rather than humanist warmth. The density and crisp geometry read as confident, bold, and engineered.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a rounded-rectangle grid into a readable, high-impact alphabet with a distinctly technological personality. Emphasis is placed on consistency, robustness, and a simplified geometric skeleton that holds up well in bold display contexts.
The design relies on consistent radius and stroke width, giving it a cohesive, system-like feel across letters and numerals. Some forms show deliberate cut-ins and notches (notably in “G,” “S,” and “t”), adding a subtly technical, constructed character that helps distinguish similar shapes at display sizes.
