Sans Superellipse Olmev 3 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'PODIUM Sharp' by Machalski, 'Monopol' by Suitcase Type Foundry, 'Beachwood' by Swell Type, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from compact, rounded-rectangle forms with a squared-off skeleton and softened corners. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with minimal modulation, creating dense counters and a strong, uninterrupted color on the line. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls (notably in O/C/G and the rounded parts of B/P/R), while joins and terminals stay flat and blunt. Proportions are consistently condensed, with tall verticals, short arms, and limited interior space; the lowercase keeps simple, single-storey constructions and minimal detailing.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and sports or event graphics where compact width and heavy stroke weight help maximize impact. It can also work for short UI labels or signage-style callouts when you need a dense, high-presence voice, but extended text will feel tight due to the narrow proportions and closed counters.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a utilitarian, industrial feel. Its compressed, blocky rhythm reads as confident and attention-grabbing, leaning toward a retro sports/advertising sensibility rather than a delicate or conversational voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle geometry to stay bold while avoiding sharp aggression. It prioritizes consistent weight, compact rhythm, and sturdy shapes for clear, emphatic display typography.
Round letters retain a slightly squared stance, and the punctuation and numerals follow the same chunky, compact logic, helping the design hold together in dense settings. The strong vertical emphasis and tight counters make it most distinctive at larger sizes where its rounded-corner geometry is clearly visible.
