Sans Superellipse Tenej 3 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Acumin' by Adobe, 'Dexa Pro' by Artegra, 'Area' by Blaze Type, 'Aspira' by Durotype, 'Hegval Display' by Inhouse Type, and 'Ordina' by Schriftlabor (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) construction and an intentionally distressed edge. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with soft corners and slightly irregular contours that suggest ink spread or stamped printing. Counters tend to be tight and simplified, and curves are broadly drawn rather than finely modeled. Spacing and widths feel somewhat uneven, contributing to an organic rhythm while maintaining a clear, upright silhouette.
Best suited to short display text where the rough texture and heavy shapes can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, album artwork, and merch-style graphics. It also works for branding that wants a handmade or stamped feel, but is less ideal for long passages or small UI text due to the dense weight and tight counters.
The overall tone is gritty and handmade—more DIY and tactile than polished. The rough perimeter and dense color create a bold, poster-like presence that reads as casual, energetic, and slightly vintage or zine-inspired.
The design appears intended to mimic an imperfect, inked printing process—like a rubber stamp or rough screenprint—while keeping the underlying forms simple and sans-based for quick recognition. Its goal is to add texture and personality without relying on decorative flourishes.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a cohesive “printed” look. The strong weight and tight counters can cause letters to visually merge at smaller sizes, while the distressed edges add character at display sizes.
