Does anyone know what the Oakley sunglasses font is? Is it custom? This was the best picture I could find online and it was too light for whatafont to identify. Thanks to anyone who can help me out!

Oakley typeface is a custom version of URW California Grotesk,
called Bark!

Thanks you for your help. I got mine from the same site, David, I just made a copy so I could try and find it through whatafont. But I appreciate everyone’s help, a client I have loves the look and wants to adapt it to a new logo we are working on and I had never seen it before.

Thanks again!!
