Busk in use for the autobiography by Brazilian football legend Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known as Pelé (1940–2022). The book was co-written by American author Robert L. Fish. The first UK edition shown here was published by New English Library in 1977.

Busk’s angular letterforms are printed in yellow with a green contour (and extra outlines in black), echoing Brazil’s iconic jersey colors which in turn are derived from the country’s flag.
