I really love the letter Z in HEINZ in this image of a Andy Warhol boxwork from 1964.
what font can this be?
and what about 57 ?
Tempo Heavy Condensed (designed in 1931) is similar. The Z is probably custom.
You should remember that the Heinz 57 brand name is much older than computers, so finding digital fonts that match is more coincidence and/or luck than design. Tempo is just similar.
I doubt if you can match the 57 without a lot of outline manipulation to an existing font. You are better off scanning it.
The script is pretty similar to an old Berthold script called Houston BQ (see below), which I cannot find at Berthold any more, or anywhere else on the web right now. This sample from my Script Font ID Guide was provided for me, by another font collector.
yes i will need to buy one of them Warholboxes and scan.. : )
Or a Heinz ketchup bottle ;-)
that Script Font ID Guide should be provided for all Typophilers for Xmas! Let us hope Santa is here at this forum... i wonder what his nickname is...
Ho, Ho , Ho! The Script Font ID Guide is online where anyone can use it anytime.
But we work in a trivial business for the most part, Yves, when we put our creative skills to work for commercial companies. It pains me that our profession has the ability to change people's minds on the environment, on issues of equality, poverty and so many good causes, but most of us just help to sell beans.
Or in my case, DVDs from giant power hungry greedy studios.
