Sans Superellipse Hibij 3 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Acumin' by Adobe, 'Artegra Sans' by Artegra, 'Averta PE' and 'Averta Standard PE' by Intelligent Design, and 'Avenir Next' and 'Avenir Next Paneuropean' by Linotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently blunt terminals. Curves are tightened into superelliptical bowls, producing squared-off counters and a firm, engineered rhythm across the alphabet. Strokes stay uniform and dense, with minimal modulation and little interior breathing room at text sizes. The lowercase maintains a practical, workmanlike build with sturdy stems and closed, efficient apertures, while numerals match the same blocky, rounded-corner geometry for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to high-impact headlines, posters, and identity work where a dense, compact voice is needed. It also fits packaging and signage that benefits from bold, space-efficient letterforms, and works well for short blocks of emphasis text where its dark typographic color becomes an asset.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, leaning toward contemporary industrial and sports-driven branding. Its compact heft reads confident and no-nonsense, with a slightly retro display flavor that comes from the squared rounding and tight spacing.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space while keeping forms friendly through rounded corners rather than sharp geometry. The superelliptical construction suggests a goal of modern, engineered clarity—favoring sturdy silhouettes and a consistent, unified texture over delicate detail.
The narrow set width and thick joins create strong color in lines of text, especially in capitals, where the forms stack into a solid band. Round characters like O, C, and G show the superellipse influence most clearly, balancing softness at the corners with a rigid, squared silhouette.
