Sans Superellipse Simap 3 is a very bold, very narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'GW Pleasance' by Goodwheel Studio, 'Shtozer' by Pepper Type, 'Robson' by TypeUnion, and 'Herokid' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are heavy and fairly even, with subtly rounded outer corners and narrow internal counters that create a compact, high-density texture. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle geometry rather than fully circular forms, and terminals are generally straight and blunt. The lowercase is narrow and streamlined with compact bowls and a restrained aperture structure, keeping word shapes tall and continuous at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and impactful titling where maximum presence is needed in limited horizontal space. It can also work for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a compact, vertically emphatic voice. For extended text, it will likely perform best in short bursts or larger sizes where the tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone feels forceful and declarative, with a disciplined, engineered presence. Its compressed silhouette and dark typographic color evoke poster-era display typography and pragmatic industrial lettering, reading as bold, serious, and attention-seeking rather than casual or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver strong impact with minimal width, combining a condensed structure with slightly softened, rounded-rectangle geometry for a controlled but assertive display look.
At large sizes the shapes read cleanly and consistent, but the very narrow counters and tight interior spaces suggest it will look best when given ample size and breathing room. Numerals follow the same condensed, blocky logic and visually match the uppercase weight and stance.
