Sans Superellipse Tidoj 3 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, 'Folio' by Linotype, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, and 'Manual' by TypeUnion (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with blocky silhouettes and broadly rounded corners that read like softened rectangles. Strokes stay mostly monolinear, with subtle swelling and occasional pinched joins that create a stamped, inked texture. Counters are compact and often squarish, apertures are tight, and terminals end bluntly rather than tapering. The overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with slight irregular edge roughness that gives the forms a worn, printed look without becoming illegible at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, product packaging, labels, and bold signage where dense letterforms and strong texture are assets. It also works well for brand marks and logotypes that want an industrial or vintage-printed attitude, especially when paired with simpler supporting text.
The tone is tough and workmanlike, evoking stenciled or rubber-stamp lettering on crates, labels, and industrial signage. Its compact width and heavy color make it feel assertive and attention-grabbing, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact width, combining sturdy geometric construction with a deliberately imperfect, ink-pressed texture. The softened rectangular geometry suggests a modern base, while the roughened edges add a tactile, analog printing character for expressive display use.
In text, the tight apertures and compact counters increase the overall darkness, so generous tracking and line spacing help maintain clarity. The distressed edge character becomes a defining feature at larger sizes and can visually fill in at small sizes on low-resolution outputs.
