From <a href="http://pentlandbrands.com/speedo-athletes-set-to-make-waves-this-summer/">Pentland Brands’ press release</a>:</p>

<blockquote>
<p>As a result of swimming pools being closed for much of 2020, last year witnessed a 20% decline in the global swimwear market. However, it’s expected to bounce back in 2021 and, as swimmers get ready to dive in this summer, Speedo is well positioned to take the opportunity, when all eyes are on the pool, to inspire more swim consumers.</p>

<p><strong><a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/150956/bastardo-grotesk" data-entity-code-id="150956" data-entity-code-type="TypeEntity">Bastardo Grotesk</a></strong> is the typeface chosen for the “Make Waves” logo. It’s set in all caps, in two lines, making use of the typeface’s shapes for <strong>M</strong> and <strong>W</strong> to create a mirror image. A<span class="nbsp">&nbsp;</span>drop of water adds a lens effect, distorting the letterforms a little. Bastardo Grotesk*ish is paired with <strong><a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/3483/neue-helvetica" data-entity-code-id="3483" data-entity-code-type="TypeEntity">Neue Helvetica</a> Italic</strong> for the quotes. The hashtag and the athletes’ names use another, yet unidentified sans serif.</p>

<p>The Speedo logo is based on <strong><a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/522/sol" data-entity-code-id="522" data-entity-code-type="TypeEntity">Sol</a></strong> (a.k.a <a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/1732/digital-sans" data-entity-code-id="1732" data-entity-code-type="TypeEntity">Digital Sans</a>), used in all-lowercase oblique featuring an <strong>e</strong> with a horizontal (rather than angled) bar .</p><br/><a href="https://fontsinuse.com/uses/41976/speedo-make-waves-campaign"><img src="https://assets.fontsinuse.com/static/use-media-items/146/145432/upto-700xauto/69b57614/maxresdefault.jpeg"/></a><br/><br/><i><span><span class="fiu-attribution__credits fiu-text--captioning">Pentland / Speedo</span>. </span><span>License: <span class="fiu-attribution__license">All Rights Reserved</span><span>. </span></span></i><br/><a href="https://fontsinuse.com/uses/41976/speedo-make-waves-campaign"><img src="https://assets.fontsinuse.com/static/use-media-items/146/145430/upto-700xauto/69b57614/d1dd32c0db0a460b1153b4afd71866e8-w1622-h870-_CR78,0,1523,870_SX1500_.jpeg"/></a><br/><br/><i><span><span class="fiu-attribution__credits fiu-text--captioning">Pentland / Speedo</span>. </span><span>License: <span class="fiu-attribution__license">All Rights Reserved</span><span>. </span></span></i><br/><a href="https://fontsinuse.com/uses/41976/speedo-make-waves-campaign"><img src="https://assets.fontsinuse.com/static/use-media-items/146/145431/upto-700xauto/69b57614/makeWaves_1_caeleb_dt2.jpeg"/></a><br/><br/><i><b>Source:&nbsp;<span class="fiu-attribution__sourceUrl"><a href="https://www.speedousa.com/make-waves" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.speedousa.com</a></span>&nbsp;</b><span><span class="fiu-attribution__credits fiu-text--captioning">Pentland / Speedo</span>. </span><span>License: <span class="fiu-attribution__license">All Rights Reserved</span><span>. </span></span></i><br/><a href="https://fontsinuse.com/uses/41976/speedo-make-waves-campaign"><img src="https://assets.fontsinuse.com/static/use-media-items/146/145434/upto-700xauto/69b57614/makeWaves_2_abbey_dt2.jpeg"/></a><br/><br/><i><b>Source:&nbsp;<span class="fiu-attribution__sourceUrl"><a href="https://www.speedousa.com/make-waves" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.speedousa.com</a></span>&nbsp;</b><span><span class="fiu-attribution__credits fiu-text--captioning">Pentland / Speedo</span>. </span><span>License: <span class="fiu-attribution__license">All Rights Reserved</span><span>. </span></span></i><br/><a href="https://fontsinuse.com/uses/41976/speedo-make-waves-campaign"><img src="https://assets.fontsinuse.com/static/use-media-items/146/145436/upto-700xauto/69b57614/Screenshot%202021-08-11%20at%2011-07-06.png"/></a><br/><br/><i><span><span class="fiu-attribution__credits fiu-text--captioning">Pentland / Speedo</span>. </span><span>License: <span class="fiu-attribution__license">All Rights Reserved</span><span>. </span></span></i><br/><br/>This post was originally published at <a href="https://fontsinuse.com/uses/41976/speedo-make-waves-campaign">Fonts In Use</a><hr/>]]></description>
