Sans Superellipse Halay 1 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Black Square' by Agny Hasya Studio, 'Nicomedia' by Artegra, 'Lustra Text' by Grype, 'Glint' by Pesic, 'Celdum' by The Northern Block, and 'Alfaqix Algorithm' and 'Alfaqix Ellipsoid' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like shapes, with squared counters and softened corners throughout. Strokes are heavy and uniform, producing a solid, monoline texture; curves are minimized and transitions tend to be crisp, often with chamfer-like joins. The proportions feel broad and stable, with compact apertures and clearly defined interior spaces that read as rectangular cut-ins rather than open calligraphic forms. Numerals and uppercase share the same modular construction, giving the set a consistent, engineered rhythm in text and in isolated glyphs.
Well suited to display applications where a strong, engineered voice is desirable—headlines, posters, brand wordmarks, product packaging, and system-style signage. It can also work for UI titles and dashboard labels where a geometric, modular look supports a technical theme.
The overall tone is modern and machine-made, leaning toward a tech and industrial aesthetic. Its blocky rounding and modular geometry suggest interfaces, hardware labeling, and contemporary sports or transportation graphics rather than literary or classical settings.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a contemporary, modular identity rooted in rounded-square geometry, prioritizing consistency and impact. The construction emphasizes a uniform toolkit of curves and right angles to create a recognizable, tech-forward texture across both text and numerals.
The design relies on repeated corner radii and squared bowls, creating a distinctive “soft-square” personality across letters and figures. In running text it presents a dense, headline-forward color; the tight apertures and rectangular counters add a purposeful, signage-like clarity at display sizes.
