Sans Superellipse Tuni 3 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Dharma Gothic' and 'Dharma Gothic Rounded' by Dharma Type, 'Compilation Grotesk' by Estudio Calderon, and 'Tungsten' by Hoefler & Co. (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy display sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, producing a compact, high-impact silhouette with tight internal counters. Many edges show deliberate roughening and slight waviness, creating a worn, inked texture that keeps the letterforms from feeling mechanically perfect. Curves are squarish and superelliptical, and the overall rhythm is vertical and tightly packed, with numerals and capitals matching the same dense, columnar proportions.
Best suited for short, bold copy such as headlines, poster titles, venue/event graphics, packaging marks, and logo wordmarks where a condensed footprint is helpful. It can also work for signage or labels that benefit from a tough, worn texture, but is less ideal for small text or long passages due to dense counters and deliberate roughness.
The texture and compressed build give the font a rugged, utilitarian tone—part vintage print, part stenciled/pressed ephemera. It reads as assertive and attention-grabbing, with a slightly distressed, analog feel that suggests posters, labels, and workwear branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal width while retaining friendly, rounded-rectangle geometry. The added distressing suggests a purposeful nod to printed, stamped, or weathered applications, giving modern condensed forms a vintage, workmanlike character.
In longer lines the tight counters and distressed edges increase visual noise, so the face feels most comfortable at larger sizes where its texture becomes a feature rather than a distraction. The punctuation and figures share the same blunt, compact presence, helping headlines feel consistent across mixed-case and numeric content.
