An ad found on PlayStation Network for its Sale of the Dead promotion appears to have used the official Sunset Overdrive font, developer Insomniac Games has pointed out.

The Sunset Overdrive Twitter account posted: “Hey @Playstation. Nice font. Glad you guys are excited for @SunsetOverdrive too.”

Take a look at the images below and it’s pretty clear the two utilise the same distinctive font.

So how did Sony’s marketing people get hold of the font? Well, Insomniac made its font available to download and use free of charge.

It’s unclear if those responsible for the ad knew what font they were using, but it appears no harm has been done.

Sunset Overdrive launches for Xbox One on October 31.
