Sans Superellipse Hulah 3 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Boldine' by Fateh.Lab, 'Refinery' by Kimmy Design, and 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A dense, heavy display sans with condensed proportions and a squared-off, rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing solid, high-impact silhouettes. Counters tend to be tight and geometric, and many joins and terminals read as blunt and engineered rather than calligraphic. Curves are simplified into superellipse-like rounds, giving letters a soft-cornered, blocky feel while maintaining crisp overall edges and a compact rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging fronts, and logo or wordmark work where maximum impact is needed in a narrow footprint. It also fits wayfinding, labels, and sports or event graphics, especially in short lines or stacked compositions where its blocky rhythm can build strong typographic texture.
The tone is loud, confident, and workmanlike—more poster and signage than editorial. Its compact width and chunky forms evoke classic athletic and industrial lettering, with a slightly retro, scoreboard-like bluntness that feels energetic and direct.
Designed to deliver maximum visual weight in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep the forms sturdy and consistent. The overall intent appears to be a pragmatic, attention-grabbing display face that remains legible under bold, high-contrast reproduction such as signage and print headlines.
The face holds together best when set with generous tracking or at larger sizes, where the tight internal spaces and strong vertical emphasis read cleanly. Numerals match the same compact, heavy construction, supporting bold labeling and short-form information design.
