Seen this font in a japanese Nike ad and now in a photo on the CR site. Unfortunately the article is only for subscribers. Anyone know this one? Sorry for the small picture

There is one called Park House http://typography.net/commissions/view/33 but the lines run the wrong way I think. Or maybe the Nike ad font is different from the one in CR. I will try to find a Nike sample and post it. Hold on
Slight nitpicking here, but that is actually a helix, not a spiral. What you want is a font that looks like a metal spring.
I haven't read the text on either of these links so they might be lettering rather than fonts, but I'm not sure if the Nike one is a font either. Have you seen it used by them in any other way than the image you posted?
Yes, a bit of swenglish there ;) Thank's for the slinky links.
The font is used in the video and in the print campaign http://nikerunfwd.jp/index.html
