Sans Superellipse Jala 3 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bhelt' by Fateh.Lab, 'Maken' by Graphicxell, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'Friez' by Putracetol (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with compact proportions and strongly blunted corners throughout. Strokes are monolinear and dense, producing dark, even texture in text. Many letters feature narrow, vertically oriented counters and apertures that read like slim cut-ins, with terminals that stay squared-off rather than fully circular. Curves are built from superellipse-like bowls and rounded blocks, giving a soft, inflated geometry while maintaining a tight, engineered rhythm. Numerals follow the same chunky construction with simplified interior shapes and sturdy, stable silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where weight and silhouette do most of the work: posters, headlines, brand marks, packaging, and bold signage. It also fits playful or retro-leaning identities, and can perform well for short bursts of text (titles, labels, UI banners) where compact, high-impact letterforms are desirable.
The overall tone is bold and friendly with a retro, display-driven personality. Its soft corners and blocky massing feel approachable and comic-adjacent, while the narrow internal openings add a slightly industrial, cut-out flavor. The result is energetic and attention-grabbing without becoming spiky or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft, rounded block geometry, prioritizing unmistakable shapes and a strong billboard-like color. The consistent narrow counter cuts suggest an effort to maintain differentiation and rhythm within a very heavy, compact structure.
Spacing and shapes create a strong, continuous black presence, so small sizes can look tightly packed as counters compress. The narrow internal cuts contribute to distinct letterforms, especially in rounded characters, and give the font a consistent, mechanical motif across caps, lowercase, and figures.
