Sol & Mar Lidl TV Spot
“Monumentos” (sights) is in Bombshell.
The current TV spot by German discount supermarket chain Lidl announces an “Iberian Week” with special offers for food and drinks from Spain and Portugal. It features a number of keywords in various popular typefaces, including two recently released scripts, Rolling Pen (2013) and Bombshell (2012). Latter was created by Emily Conners and, together with her Carolyna Pro Black, made it into the 15 most popular fonts of 2012 at MyFonts. The high-contrast script with the bouncy baseline still ranks 8th among their current best sellers, outselling classics like Frutiger, DIN or Futura. This is the first example of Bombshell in the Fonts In Use Collection, though.
“Portugal” is represented by Rolling Pen, a monolinear script by Argentinian designer Alejandro Paul.

“Tapas” appears to be in Stymie Bold, slanted and re-erected by tilting the baseline.
“Moda” (fashion) is rendered in the stereotypical Neue Helvetica Ultralight.
Various styles of Stymie, with texture effect. One of the few things the proponents and opponents of the German capital eszett can agree upon is that the lowercase form (ß) should not be used in all-caps settings, as it is the case here.
