Sans Superellipse Ponul 3 is a bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut and 'Akademiya' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, tightly condensed sans built from rounded-rectangle curves and straight stems, giving counters and bowls a superelliptical, squarish feel. Strokes stay visually consistent with minimal contrast, and terminals are clean and square-ended, often with softened corners. The uppercase set is narrow and vertical, with compact apertures and a disciplined, engineered rhythm; lowercase maintains a similarly narrow footprint with simple, sturdy forms and a single-storey “a.” Numerals echo the same condensed geometry and rounded-rect counters, producing a cohesive, modular texture in text.
Best suited to display roles where vertical economy and strong structure are assets, such as posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, product labels, and brand wordmarks. It also works well for UI titles, dashboards, and technical graphics when you want a compact, engineered texture rather than a neutral text face.
The overall tone feels mechanical and system-minded, recalling labeling, equipment markings, and streamlined retro-futurist graphics. Its compact, upright stance reads assertive and efficient, with a controlled, no-nonsense presence that leans more functional than expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans with a consistent rounded-rect geometry, optimized for clear silhouettes and a unified, system-like aesthetic across letters and numbers.
The combination of squared curves and rounded corners creates a distinctive “softened industrial” look—rigid geometry tempered by gentle radii. Because of the condensed proportions, internal spaces can close up at smaller sizes, while larger settings emphasize its architectural verticality.
