Fonts in Super Bowl LV commercials. An ongoing thread đŸ§”

Starting with Pepsi. They’re not running a standalone spot in 2021, but ARE running a campaign in line with the big game. Helvetica? Nimbus? Not sure. The round tittle of the ‘?’ and kick of the ‘R’ are throwing me đŸ€”
The first Cheetos teaser ad just has one piece of type: a date. Set in Monstro Solid đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž
Vroom’s first spot uses ‘Vroom Sans’, a custom typeface by Pentagram that leans forwards and casts its thicc serifs backwards to elicit a sense of speed. It’s deliciously consistent across their ads (for now). First pic = Super Bowl ident. Other three = other ads.
Coca-Cola are joining Pepsi in sitting out the Super Bowl this year, so here’s a LIV ad.

Until 2017, Coca-Cola didn’t have a consistent typeface! đŸ˜± They used Gotham sometimes, Proxima Nova other times. Then they developed ‘TCCC Unity’ in-house. TCCC = ‘The Coca-Cola Company’.
No ident typography in Bud Light’s ‘lemons’ ad, so... packaging! The word ‘Seltzer’ on the cans is set in Titling Gothic Skyline Medium.
This was a tough one. So many ‘fancy’ numeric fonts with didone glyphs, ball serifs, and flag-like flourishes. I’m fairly certain this is a modified version of Vectory Semi Bold, for the ‘5’ and ‘9’.
The ‘Wayne’s World’ logo, which features in a Super Bowl ad depicting Wayne and Garth bowing down to corporate sponsor Uber Eats and highlighting how the app supports local restaurants by taking 30% of each delivery order, uses Dynamo Bold Condensed, with a custom apostrophe.
No interesting typography in the Michelob ULTRA ad, so, the Michelob ULTRA logo: Sloop Script for ‘Michelob’, and what looks like a custom face for ‘ULTRA’, with cute lil Copperplate-like spiky serifs.
DORITOS.

‘Now in 3D’ has gotta be Beni Bold. The cuts in the ‘N’ are a dead giveaway.

Struggling with ‘ #FlatMatthew’. An adjusted Aspire SmallCaps? Can’t think of a font that has parallel terminals in a sheered octothorpe, an indented ‘F’ glyph, AND flush ‘E’ terminals đŸ€”
The new Rockstar logo + slogan gives me Moderna Sans vibes, but with some unique little tics: a small angular jut on the bottom horizontal glyphs of the ‘L’ and the ‘E’.
Frito-Lay coming through with some festive Boucherie Block Bold.
