Compañia Comercial Herdez was established in Monterrey, Mexico in 1914. Today, as Grupo Herdez, the brand is “a leading producer of shelf-stable foods and one of the main players in the ice cream category in Mexico, as well as one of the leaders in the Mexican food category in the United States”. In 2019, Herdez launched its “Mexican is Herdez” salsa campaign for the U.S. market, with the keywords, “loud, aromatic, vibrant, bold,” and “fresh flavors with an attitude”.

TV ads, web graphics, and other campaign materials, including a lotería game, feature the typeface Form by French designer Maxime Francout. The designers (unknown at this time) sometimes mix upper- and lowercase, or rotate the ‘x’, such as in the tagline.

    Wow! I love this commercial! First time I saw it on TV I said “Yes!”.  It embodies the strength, color and spirit of Mexico.  I am of Mexican descent and if we’re anything it’s strong!  Love this ad.

  4. Why this use is not available on my profile?

  5. Maxime, on Fonts In Use, there are various profile pages.

    The contributor profile page lists all published uses that were contributed by you.
    The designer profile page lists all uses that were designed by you (at the time of writing, there is no such page for you, because we haven’t published any of your graphic design work yet).
    Last but not least, the type designer profile page lists all uses that feature typefaces designed by you.

    This use does appear on your type designer profile page, because it features your Form. It’s not listed on your contributor profile page, because it was contributed by Stephen.

    Uses can only be assigned to one contributor profile. In this regard, Fonts In Use is different from other sites like Behance.
