Sans Superellipse Tenak 3 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Kaneda Gothic' by Dharma Type, 'Akkordeon' by Emtype Foundry, 'Garmint' by Maulana Creative, and 'Smart Sans' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, all-caps–friendly sans with rounded-rectangle construction and heavily filled-in counters. Strokes stay largely even, with softly blunted terminals and subtly irregular edges that suggest ink spread or worn printing. The overall silhouette is tall and compressed, with tight interior spaces, squared curves (notably in O/C/G), and simple, utilitarian forms that keep a steady vertical rhythm in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where its compact width and heavy color can maximize presence—posters, cover titles, packaging, labels, and bold brand marks. It can also work for punchy subheads or UI badges where a stamped, industrial flavor is desired, but the tight counters make it less ideal for long body copy at small sizes.
The tone feels tough and workmanlike, evoking stamped labeling, screen-printed graphics, and vintage packaging. Its slightly distressed finish adds grit and attitude without becoming chaotic, giving it an assertive, headline-forward presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle forms and softened corners for a friendly-but-tough industrial feel. The lightly roughened edges suggest a deliberate print-inspired texture aimed at adding character to bold display typography.
Lowercase follows the same condensed, rounded-rect geometry and reads more like a compact companion to the uppercase than a separate, calligraphic system. Numerals are similarly sturdy and narrow, designed to hold their shape in dense settings while maintaining the same soft-cornered, inked look.
