Sans Superellipse Dukup 3 is a regular weight, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'CA Mechano' by Cape Arcona Type Foundry, 'Lustra Text' by Grype, and 'Government Issue JNL' by Jeff Levine (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric sans with a pronounced rounded-rectangle (superellipse) skeleton and consistently softened corners throughout. Strokes are essentially monoline, with smooth curve-to-straight transitions and wide, even apertures that keep counters open. The uppercase shows broad proportions and stable, flat terminals; round letters (O, Q) read as squarish ovals with generous corner radii. Lowercase forms are similarly geometric, with compact joins and a straightforward, functional construction that stays visually uniform across letters and numerals.
This font is well suited to user interfaces, dashboards, and product experiences where a crisp, modern sans with softened geometry improves approachability. It also works effectively in branding and packaging that aims for a contemporary, slightly technical character. In larger sizes it makes strong, clean headlines and signage, while the open counters help maintain clarity in short text blocks.
The overall tone is contemporary and tech-forward while still approachable, thanks to the rounded corners and calm, even rhythm. It feels engineered and systematic rather than expressive, projecting clarity and reliability. The squarish curves add a subtle sci‑fi or UI flavor without becoming novelty-driven.
The design appears intended to merge a functional, geometric sans structure with rounded superellipse forms to create a modern, system-like voice. It prioritizes consistency and legibility while using softened corners to reduce visual harshness and add a friendly, contemporary finish.
Digits follow the same rounded-rect language, giving sets like 0/8/9 a cohesive, modular look suited to interfaces. Diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) appear sturdy and clean, balancing the softer curvature elsewhere. The design maintains a consistent texture in text, with minimal stroke modulation and predictable spacing.
