Sans Superellipse Osdoz 3 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Gubia' by Graviton, 'Alma Mater' and 'Oscar Bravo' by Studio K, 'Headlines' by TypeThis!Studio, and 'Carbon' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with squared-off, superelliptic curves and rounded-rectangle counters. Strokes stay uniform with minimal modulation, and terminals are blunt, giving a machined, cut-from-sheet look. The proportions are condensed with tight interior spaces; apertures are often closed and counters are small for the weight. Several letters show distinctive internal cut-ins and notches (notably in forms like A, M, N, and W), adding a stencil-like, engineered rhythm across the alphabet. Numerals follow the same compact geometry with broad shoulders and tight bowls.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, wordmarks, packaging callouts, and sporty or industrial branding. It also works well for labels and interface headers where compact width and strong presence are useful, provided sizes are generous to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial flavor that feels at home in technical signage and punchy display settings. Its compact width and squared curves project efficiency and control, while the notched details add a slightly futuristic, equipment-label character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in limited horizontal space, using superelliptic geometry and uniform strokes to create a durable, manufactured feel. The recurring notches and closed forms suggest a deliberate nod to stencil/label aesthetics while keeping a clean sans foundation.
Spacing in the sample text reads tight and dense, emphasizing blocky word shapes and strong vertical rhythm. The lowercase maintains sturdy, simplified constructions with minimal openings, which boosts impact at larger sizes but can reduce clarity in long passages or small settings.
