Sans Superellipse Oldot 3 is a bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Core Mellow' by S-Core, 'Godiva' by Suby Studio, 'Headlines' by TypeThis!Studio, and 'Sugo Pro' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently rounded corners throughout. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with tight interior counters that stay open through simplified, geometric apertures. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls (notably in O/C/G and the numerals), while verticals feel straight and steady; terminals are clean and blunt rather than tapered. The overall rhythm is narrow and space-efficient, with a sturdy baseline presence and a slightly squared, engineered texture in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where tight width and strong presence are useful—headlines, posters, product packaging, signage, and logo wordmarks. The compact forms and uniform stroke weight also make it a solid choice for UI labels or technical/industrial graphics when set with comfortable tracking.
The tone reads modern-industrial and mildly retro, like labeling on equipment, packaging, or wayfinding where robustness matters. Its rounded-square geometry softens the severity of a condensed grotesk, creating a friendly but no-nonsense voice that feels technical and purpose-built.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, using rounded-square geometry to maintain warmth while staying highly structured. It aims for a consistent, engineered look across letters and numerals so that both words and numbers feel equally deliberate and robust.
Distinctive details include an angular, open-top lowercase “a,” a single-storey “g,” and numerals drawn with the same rounded-rectangle logic, giving data-heavy strings a consistent, cohesive color. The punctuation and dots are bold and round, matching the heavy stroke weight and helping marks hold up at display sizes.
