Sans Superellipse Idnuy 3 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Akkordeon' by Emtype Foundry, 'Sztos' by Machalski, 'Sans Beam' by Stawix, 'Palo' by TypeUnion, and 'Herokid' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters, with softened corners and broadly uniform stroke weight. The x-height reads large and the lowercase is compact, with short ascenders/descenders that keep lines tight. Terminals are mostly blunt, and diagonals (e.g., in K, V, W, X) are wide and sturdy rather than sharp. Numerals are similarly chunky and squared-off, maintaining a consistent, solid color across text.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where maximum presence is needed, such as posters, storefront graphics, and bold brand marks. It also works well on packaging and labels that want a sturdy, friendly block aesthetic, and in sports or team-oriented design where a powerful silhouette is desirable.
The overall tone is loud and confident, with a sporty, poster-forward energy. Its rounded geometry adds a friendly, slightly playful edge, keeping the weight from feeling harsh while still delivering strong impact. The style suggests a retro-industrial sensibility suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a softened, geometric voice. By combining thick strokes with rounded-rectangle shaping and compact lowercase proportions, it aims for strong legibility at display sizes while maintaining a contemporary, approachable feel.
Round letters like O/Q and bowls in B/P/R feel more like superelliptical capsules than true circles, which reinforces a geometric, engineered rhythm. The strong, condensed interior spaces mean it benefits from generous sizing and spacing when used in dense settings.
