The most it resembles is the San Francisco font (Apple's default system font) which itself was inspired from Helvetica and DIN.

Personally I liked this font much better than the other opensource alternatives, especially with the number of weights it offered. I am glad it's gotten popular.

Did Apple reuse the San Francisco font name? Man, they really aren’t in touch with their roots.

The original San Francisco was designed by Susan Kare. You can see it here. [1]

This makes me feel old.

This comes up every time San Francisco is mentioned...
Apple knows about Susan Kare’s work and its history with the font.
