Sans Superellipse Ifma 3 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Gltp Starion' by Glowtype, 'Bega' by Indian Type Foundry, 'Acto' by Monotype, and 'Core Sans M' by S-Core (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with a blocky, superelliptical skeleton and softly squared corners. Counters are generous and mostly rounded-rectangular, while curves are flattened slightly to keep a compact, sturdy footprint. Strokes stay broadly even, with occasional sculpted joins and small ink-trap-like notches in places where diagonals meet stems, helping prevent dark clogs at this weight. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and a simplified, geometric construction; numerals are wide and sturdy with prominent bowls.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display typography where its dense color and rounded, chunky shapes can carry personality. It will work well for posters, packaging, product branding, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a friendly, bold presence and clear silhouettes at larger sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a toy-like solidity that reads as fun rather than formal. Its rounded geometry and dense color create a confident, attention-grabbing voice suited to bold, friendly messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft, approachable geometry—combining squared-off massing with rounded corners and open counters for clarity. It prioritizes bold readability and character over neutrality, aiming to feel modern-retro and energetic in display settings.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and compact in the sample text, producing a strong typographic “wall” ideal for impact. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y, K) feel slightly carved and dynamic, adding bounce to an otherwise square-leaning rhythm.
