What font is the Nike logo?
Nike’s wordmark is lettering, and the sources agree only on its family. Google’s AI answer calls it a custom extra bold condensed sans serif closely related to Futura, and names Futura Extra Bold Condensed Oblique and a Nike variant it calls Futura ND Nike 365. A thread on dafont’s forum names Futura Bold Condensed Oblique, and Fonts In Use files Nike under Futura Extra Bold Condensed, so they differ on Bold and Extra Bold.
Nike’s own lettering is not given here, and Futura is a typeface that foundries sell. Here the no-cost typeface is Roboto Condensed, designed by Christian Robertson: narrow, upright capitals in the same shape as the Nike letters. Its strokes are lighter than the logo’s and it has no slant. You may use it in anything, including things you sell.
The Nike look
The wordmark is NIKE in black capitals, heavy and narrow, set close and leaning to the right, often on white. The curved Swoosh beside it is a separate mark, not a letter, and it is not drawn here.
Choose Solid with the Logo backdrop and your text appears as black uppercase letters on a white field. Outline works well over a background you supply, like a track photo; Clear keeps just the lettering to place on top of footage. The lean of the Nike letters is left out: the font stands upright.
