Sans Superellipse Hidod 3 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Base Runner JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Born Strong' by Rook Supply, 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with squared curves and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick and largely uniform, producing dense color and strong silhouette clarity. Counters tend to be rectangular and compact (notably in O, D, P, and 8), and terminals finish bluntly with minimal modulation. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with slightly varied glyph widths and a strong, engineered feel driven by straight segments and superelliptical bowls.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold display settings where high density and strong silhouettes are assets. It works well for sports or team marks, tech and gaming UI titles, packaging callouts, and short signage-style messages where punch and compactness matter more than airy readability.
The font projects a functional, high-impact tone that feels modern and machine-made. Its squared rounding and compressed stance evoke industrial labeling, tech interfaces, and athletic branding—confident, assertive, and no-nonsense rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compressed footprint, using superelliptical construction to keep forms rigid and contemporary while avoiding sharp corners. It emphasizes uniform weight, tight spacing, and simplified geometry to read as assertive and industrial.
The letterforms favor closed, compact interior spaces and simplified joins, which reinforces a rugged, signage-like presence at larger sizes. The numerals match the same boxy, rounded-rectangle construction, creating consistent texture across alphanumerics.
