    <title>Sol in use</title>
    <link>https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/522/sol</link>
    <description>Sol in use. Designed by Marty Goldstein and C.B. Smith for VGC in 1973. Initial weights were Thin, Plain, Heavy, and Fat. Not yet shown in their 1973 catalog.

Fotostar offered 2″ film fonts under the name Sun. TypeShop created the first digital version in the mid-1970s and Elsner+Flake licensed it in the mid-1990s under the name Digital Sans. [Elsner+Flake]

Canada Type released Sol Pro in 2010 with “optical improvements to the original design, more weights [five weights in two widths], italics, small caps, biform shapes, alternates, and extended language support.”</description>

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>

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>
