Overview
Overview
The name of the typeface is a pun on Polish words Solidarność (meaning solidarity) and cyrylica (Cyrillic). While primarily associated with the Solidarity and various ventures associated with it, it is also used by other projects loosely associated with the ideas of fight for freedom. On and around June 4, 2009 most Polish newspapers used the font for their logos, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Poland's independence and the first (partially) free elections in Eastern Bloc since World War II.
