Sans Superellipse Otdab 3 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Qonora' by Charles Casimiro Design, 'Gunar' and 'Nuber' by The Northern Block, and 'Ddt' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, monoline sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves read as superelliptical rather than purely circular, giving bowls and counters a squared-off roundness. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation; joins are clean and mostly orthogonal, producing a compact, stable rhythm. Apertures are relatively tight, terminals are blunt, and internal counters tend toward rounded squares, yielding strong color and clear silhouette at large sizes.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, UI labels, and navigation where strong presence and quick recognition are needed. It can work well in posters, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a modern, geometric voice. For longer text, it will be more comfortable with generous size and spacing to offset the dense weight and tighter openings.
The overall tone feels contemporary and utilitarian, with a friendly edge from the rounded corners. Its dense weight and squared-round geometry suggest a tech-forward, engineered aesthetic rather than a humanist one. The texture is confident and solid, leaning toward signage and interface clarity.
The design appears intended to merge geometric efficiency with approachable rounding: a compact, high-impact sans that stays clean and systematic while avoiding sharpness. Its consistent monoline weight and superelliptical structure point to an emphasis on clarity, robustness, and contemporary digital-friendly styling.
Uppercase forms appear wide and blocky with generous curves constrained by straight sides, while lowercase maintains simple, functional shapes and avoid decorative quirks. Numerals match the same rounded-rectilinear logic, reading sturdy and uniform. The font’s tight apertures and dense strokes create strong presence, but also a darker page color in paragraphs.
