Sans Superellipse Osgej 3 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Laqonic 4F' by 4th february, 'Festivo Clean' by Ahmet Altun, 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, and 'Otoiwo Grotesk' by Pepper Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with block-like forms built from rounded-rectangle geometry. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and tight apertures that create a dense, efficient texture. Curves resolve into squarish bowls (notably in O/C/G/e), corners are softly radiused rather than sharp, and counters stay relatively small for the weight. Uppercase letters read tall and straight-sided, while the lowercase keeps a simple, workmanlike construction with short extenders and single-storey a and g.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact copy where a dense, powerful voice is useful. It can work well for signage, packaging, and brand marks that need a condensed, industrial presence, and for UI labels where a compact footprint is desirable—provided sizes and spacing allow counters to stay open enough for readability.
The overall tone is tough and practical, with a compressed rhythm that feels engineered and no-nonsense. Its rounded corners soften the impact slightly, but the dominant impression remains bold, direct, and industrial rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep forms uniform and highly legible at display sizes. The consistent stroke weight and squared curves suggest a preference for a modern, engineered look over calligraphic or humanist nuance.
At text sizes the tight apertures and compact counters produce a dark, emphatic color, making spacing and line height feel important for clarity. Numerals are simple and sturdy, matching the squarish, rounded-rectangle logic seen throughout the alphabet.
