Sans Superellipse Kapi 3 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Muller Next' by Fontfabric, 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype, and 'Karibu' by ROHH (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, slanted sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and broad, closed counters. Strokes read as monoline and strongly massed, with corners softened rather than sharply squared. Many joins and terminals show angled, notched cut-ins that create small internal openings, giving the letterforms a chiseled, ink-trap-like texture. The lowercase is compact with a tall x-height and short extenders, producing tight vertical rhythm and dense word shapes, while figures are wide and robust with simplified interior forms.
Best suited to big, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and team identities, and short promotional copy. It can also work on packaging or signage where strong silhouettes and quick recognition matter more than extended reading comfort.
The overall tone is bold, athletic, and attention-seeking, with a slightly retro display flavor. The italic slant and chunky silhouettes add urgency and motion, while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly and approachable despite the weight.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a slanted, geometric sans voice, using rounded superellipse forms plus purposeful notches to keep heavy shapes from clogging and to add a distinctive, aggressive texture.
At larger sizes the notched terminals and cut-in joins become a defining detail, adding texture and separation in dense black shapes. Spacing appears designed for impact rather than delicacy, with stout counters that stay open in text settings but can feel compact in long runs.
