About the lettering
The Swoosh itself was drawn by Carolyn Davidson in 1971. The Futura wordmark was added alongside it in 1978, set in the extra bold condensed cut and leaned into an oblique, and from 1995 the Swoosh has usually appeared without any lettering at all.
Common questions
What font is used in the Nike logo?
The classic Nike wordmark is based on Futura Bold Condensed (listed in logo references as Futura Extra Bold Condensed), set tight and slanted into an oblique next to the Swoosh.
Is the Nike logo just the Futura font?
Not quite. The letters start from Futura's bold condensed weight but were customized, slanted, tightened and treated as a fixed logotype rather than live text.
Who designed the Nike Swoosh?
The Swoosh symbol was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971; the Futura-based wordmark that accompanied it arrived in 1978.
