Leading, F1 Black headlines

Summary

A leading spec for F1 Black: a large dark panel sets "TIGHT COMPACT & ENGINEERED" over a visible baseline grid, with point size, leading, and tracking values stated at the foot.

Visual description

Off-white page, standard running header with "Visual Identity / Typography" top left, the title "Leading / Display headlines: F1 Black" center-left in two sizes, page 85 top right, under a hairline rule. A narrow left column of body copy explains that over 50pt the leading must be set tight and engineered. The right is a large near-black rounded panel: a block of small white intro copy sits top, then a three-line all-caps headline "TIGHT / COMPACT & / ENGINEERED" in the heavy F1 Black cut, overlaid on faint horizontal baseline-grid lines that show the tight line spacing. A small caption at the bottom of the panel states the point size, leading, and tracking.

Key takeaway

Showing the spec and the proof in one panel: the headline sits on its actual baseline grid, and the exact point/leading/tracking numbers are printed beneath, so the page is both a specimen and a recipe. The grid lines make the tight leading measurable.

Reuse notes

A reusable per-weight leading page. The baseline-grid overlay plus a values caption is the pattern to copy for any "leading for [weight]" spec. Part of a set with the F1 Wide and F1 Bold leading pages.
