Sans Superellipse Pemut 3 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Folio' by Bitstream, 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, and 'Ordax' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with tall, condensed proportions and softly rounded rectangular construction. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a strong vertical rhythm. Curves in letters like C, O, and G read as squarish superellipse forms, while terminals are generally flat with gentle corner rounding rather than sharp cuts. The lowercase follows the same blocky geometry, with simple, sturdy joins and short, robust ascenders and descenders; the numerals match in weight and width, staying compact and highly solid at text and display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and signage where a compact footprint and maximum impact are needed. It also works well for branding and packaging systems that benefit from an assertive, space-efficient voice, especially in short lines and large sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a pragmatic, industrial feel. Its compressed, heavyweight presence suggests urgency and confidence, leaning more toward signage and headline impact than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact typography in limited horizontal space, using superelliptical, rounded-rectangle forms to maintain clarity and consistency while keeping an industrial, utilitarian character.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and compact, reinforcing a dense texture in lines of copy. The rounded-rectangle skeleton keeps the style consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving a cohesive, engineered look.
