The Wonderbra is a type of push-up underwire brassiere that gained worldwide prominence in the 1990s. Until recently, ITC Grouch has been the foundation of the brand’s logo, undergoing various revisions since the early 1970s.

The company has recently switched to another high contrast serif (this time, of the 1980s): ITC Fenice.
