Sans Superellipse Sura 3 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Muralista' by Los Andes, 'RBNo2.1' by René Bieder, and 'Hyperspace Race Capsule' and 'Silver Streak' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from dense, rounded-rectangle strokes with generously softened corners and largely uniform thickness. Counters are tight and simplified, producing compact internal spaces and a strong, solid silhouette. Curves tend to resolve into squarish bowls and superellipse-like forms, while joins and terminals stay blunt and sturdy rather than tapered. Proportions are compact and vertically emphatic, with short extenders and a bold, even rhythm across lines of text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where a compact, heavyweight sans can deliver impact. It also works well for signage and labels that benefit from a sturdy, high-ink silhouette and a controlled, modular rhythm.
The overall tone feels industrial and signage-like, with a retro display energy that reads confident and attention-grabbing. Rounded corners temper the heaviness, adding a friendly, toy-like softness to an otherwise mechanical, engineered look. The result is bold and contemporary but with a clear throwback flavor to mid-century headline lettering.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a bold display sans that prioritizes punchy silhouettes over delicate internal detail. Its consistent, softened corner treatment suggests a goal of combining industrial strength with approachability for modern branding and editorial display.
In the sample text, the dense color and tight counters create a strong text block that holds together well at large sizes, while small apertures and narrow interior spaces suggest it will feel most comfortable in display settings. The numerals and capitals share the same squared-round geometry, reinforcing a consistent, modular system across the character set.
