A font would be covered under copyright so....I mean....legally, they do have to be exact copies, yes. And this one is not, so the entire discussion of the font seem legally irrelevant.

But it's certainly not helping. It amplifies the derivative nature of the whole operation, right from the branding level to the product, regardless of exact legal implications.

This stuff matters in personal legacy, industry/media respect, and ultimately branding too. Unless they were purposefully going for the Chinese knock-off look.
