Sans Superellipse Osgan 3 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Adversary BB' by Blambot, 'Potomac' by Context, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, 'Hurdle' by Umka Type, and 'Radley' by Variatype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-like sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters (notably in O/C/G and 0/8/9), giving the design a superelliptical, engineered feel. Strokes are uniform with minimal modulation, and terminals are mostly flat, creating dense, compact word shapes. Spacing appears tight-to-moderate with sturdy joins; extenders are relatively short, and lowercase forms stay upright and sturdy (single-storey a and g, compact e with a small internal opening). Figures are stout and rectangular, with squared curves and clear, stable silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short statements where density and impact are desirable. It works well for sports and fitness branding, industrial or tech-forward packaging, bold wayfinding and signage, and attention-grabbing promotional graphics. For long passages at smaller sizes, the tight apertures and strong color may feel heavy, but it excels when used large with generous leading.
The font projects strength and utility, with a controlled, mechanical rhythm that feels at home in performance-driven or industrial contexts. Its rounded corners soften the aggression of the weight, keeping the tone contemporary rather than brutalist. Overall it reads as confident, no-nonsense, and highly impact-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch while maintaining a clean, contemporary sans structure. The rounded-rectangle skeleton suggests a deliberate blend of sturdiness and approachability, aiming for a modern, engineered aesthetic that remains legible and cohesive in bold display settings.
Several letters show intentionally closed or narrow apertures (like S and e), which increases dark color and cohesion at display sizes. The lowercase i and j use simple square dots that match the blunt geometry, and the angular diagonals (V/W/Y) maintain the same heavy, stable presence as the rounder letters.
