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.
FACES are FRIENDS! yes i will need to buy one of them Warholboxes and scan.. : ) Thanx Mike! 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...
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.
Well I guess I must be lucky as our client base consists for something like 80% of "responsible companies": left-wing, eco-friendly, equal-opportunity and whatnot

Tempo Heavy Condensed (designed in 1931) is similar. The Z is probably custom.

Tempo looks quite similar...
although the numbers 2 and 4 (on the box) have cut corners.

A bit off topic really

Here you can see what look like little serifs on the original S, which is curious.
It also looks like they have blunted the cut on the corners of the Z.

I guess this is a return to "Beanz Meanz Heinz"

Can I come work in your studio then please? I'll be very quiet and I can make tea better than any euro mainlander!
26.Jul.2004 12.50am
Frankly, it IZ bad. Oh, the stupidity...
26.Jul.2004 8.14am
I guess this is a return to spending obscene amounts of money
on trivial nonsense which would've been much better spent on
actually feeding people.
