These predigital letters were first released as a font around 1820 and are usually known as Egyptienne Bold Condensed. Now available in digital form from various fountries [Linotype, URW etc.] with minor variations in naming.

Identified font: Egyptienne Bold Condensed

The Monotype, URW and BT versions of Baskerville -- based on a 1923 cut -- are a match.

Identified font: Baskerville

If I recall correctly the I LIKE IKE button was from the 1952 election.
Helvetica was designed in 1957 and did not offer a weight between bold and black, i.e. heavy.
Helvetica Neue Heavy [suggested by DimensionPizza] seems to be your best choice to recreate something close to the hand lettered I LIKE IKE.
Here is Helvetica Neue Heavy, with I LIKE scaled to 50% of IKE:

Helvetica is also close but weight is wrong. Need something between Bold and Black to be a good substitute.

No match for _ATOMIC_, but you might be able to use DHF Story Brush Slanted as an approximate substitute.
Note: THIS IS NOT THE FONT USED IN THE IMAGE.

Suggested font: DHF Story Brush

Hand lettered.
Note that repeating letters _K_ and _E_ do not match.
Closest I found in a font to approximate I LIKE IKE is Benton Sans Black.
Note that the center stroke on _E_ is too short.

Franklin Gothic is also in the ballpark, but not as close.

Suggested font: Benton Sans Black

Looks like calligraphy with a broad nib for titling of this Brazillian TV series.
Asked before
https://www.dafont.com/forum/read/347596/deus-salve-o-rei-font
Fonts suggested then
Cal Gothic Bastard and
Rotunda Pommerania
are not a 100% match.
As mentioned in previous discussion a modern calligrapher has produced a poster [see image in that discussion] in a similar style to the titling for Deus salve o Rei, which is available for for purchase as a print:

Aurora Grotesk is digitized by Canada Type as Annonce.

Suggested font: Annonce



Higher resolution image of this version of the Fortune logo, used from 1956 to 1972:



This matches a Johannes Wagner Foundry font from 1912 called Aurora Grotesk which was the go to big sign font for many years.

Identified font: Aurora Grotesk

The logo is based on Sans Serif Shaded, a Stephenson Blake font from the 19th century, but Mr. Steffmann's version -- per the link in WindsorPrint's post -- is only a rough traced ScanFont version and is not a match.
The logo IS A MATCH to the dry transfer sheet published by Letraset



No accurate digital.

This was ITC Bookman using swash alternates, which apparently are not currently offered in digital form.
For the swash characters, you can use Bookmania.

Swash _S_

Swash _N_

Swash _n_

Note that fold in material makes tail of _n_ look flatter.

Custom lettered logo for the company.
AFAIK Forbes has not commissioned a font based on the logo.
No retail font is a close substitute, but if you want letters that have a somewhat similar style you could try Nicholas Bold.
Note that it is NOT A MATCH to Forbes.

Suggested font: Nicholas

Overlapped style would be difficult to do as a font.
Clearer image of _CHICO BENTO_:

For the _M_ you could substitute Abadi Condensed for the _M_ in
Alternate Gothic No. 1.
For the _S_ you could substitute the _S_ in Erbar, already suggested by Heron 2001.

Suggested font: Abadi Condensed
