Sans Superellipse Nyre 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Carnac' and 'Carnas' by Hoftype, 'Akko' and 'Akko Paneuropean' by Linotype, and 'Between' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from heavy, rounded-rectangle forms with soft, consistently radiused corners and minimal stroke modulation. Curves read as superelliptical rather than perfectly circular, giving bowls and counters a squarish roundness. Proportions are compact with generous stroke thickness, small-ish internal apertures, and sturdy terminals; joints are smooth and simplified for a uniform, blocky rhythm. The lowercase shows single-storey constructions (notably a and g) and the numerals follow the same chunky, rounded geometry for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and bold signage where its rounded mass and simplified geometry can lead the composition. It can work for brief interface labels or badges when sizes are ample, but dense paragraphs may feel heavy due to the tight counters.
The overall tone is warm, approachable, and emphatic, with a cartoonish confidence that feels more fun than formal. Its rounded squareness suggests a retro signage sensibility while staying clean and contemporary in execution.
The design intention appears to be a highly legible, attention-grabbing sans with a soft-edged, superelliptical construction—aimed at combining bold presence with a friendly, accessible personality.
Because counters and apertures are relatively tight at this weight, the design reads best when given a bit of space (size and/or tracking) to keep interior shapes open. The set maintains a consistent visual logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing solidity and softness over crisp detail.
