Sans Superellipse Gykif 3 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Mercurial' and 'Tradesman' by Grype, 'RBNo3.1' by René Bieder, 'Celdum' and 'Metral' by The Northern Block, and 'Obvia Wide' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from squared-off, rounded-rectangle forms. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are predominantly flat, producing a clean, machined silhouette. Curved letters resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, while counters tend toward squared apertures that keep interiors compact and punchy. The lowercase shows a high x-height and sturdy stems, with a clear, utilitarian rhythm suited to short lines and large settings; numerals follow the same boxy, rounded logic for a cohesive texture.
Well suited for display typography such as headlines, posters, wordmarks, and packaging where a strong, contemporary voice is needed. Its compact counters and blocky geometry also make it a good fit for signage, UI titles, and gaming/esports graphics, especially in short bursts of text.
The overall tone is modern and engineered, with a sci‑fi/tech flavor driven by its squarish curves and dense, confident weight. It reads as assertive and performance-oriented, evoking athletic branding, gaming interfaces, and industrial labeling rather than delicate editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, contemporary sans with a rounded-rectangle construction that feels technical and robust. Its consistent stroke weight and squared counters prioritize impact, clarity, and a distinctive geometric identity in branding and display contexts.
The superelliptical construction creates strong horizontal presence and a distinctly modular feel, especially in rounded letters like O/C/G and in the squared counters throughout. The density of the interior spaces suggests best results at display sizes where the crisp geometry and corner rounding remain clear.
