"Solidaryca" refers to the distinctive brush-painted lettering designed by Jerzy Janiszewski for the iconic 1980 Solidarność poster. The bold, organic shapes of the letters resemble a protesting crowd holding the Polish flag, embodying solidarity and collective action.
Although not a formal typeface, the letter forms have been adapted extensively in various logos and posters, becoming a symbol of the Polish trade union movement. The Solidarność logo and its associated typographic style became an enduring political and cultural symbol. As a key visual element of the movement, it contributed to the creation of a foundational myth for Poland, one that played a central role in the country’s resistance against communism and its transition to a democratic society.
The design itself encapsulated the spirit of unity and defiance, and over time, it became a cornerstone of Poland’s national identity during a period of profound political change.
