Are these the only letter samples for this font? Except possibly the S, it would be hard to pick letters that are less helpful for ID purposes. I think we could name dozens of sans serif faces that would be hard to tell from this sample. We need letters like G, J, K, M, C, W and R. The shape of the O, for example, can be easily changed with a little compression or widening, so it hardly matters unless we know there has been no distortion. The other letters I mentioned are structurally more distinctive, and not so easily altered by width distortions.
I think Gotham has a rounder O. I agree with Mike that this sample is pretty generic. I ran it thru Whatthefont and nothing quite matched but there were a lot that were similar.

Apex Sans and some others like it are close, but this “O” is more round...

I’m not convinced. Gothem doesn’t look as condensed and the S is not as square
Thanks any way

I thinks it’s custom (maybe just customized?) by Julian Morey ...
Click the “Topshop” link, I can’t link directly to it...

Well, I guess it is a custom designed logo then, judging from Morey’s website.
