Leading, F1 Wide headlines

Summary

The F1 Wide companion to the F1 Black leading page: a dark panel sets "DOWNFORCE SLIPSTREAM" over a baseline grid, with point size, leading, and tracking stated beneath.

Visual description

Off-white page, standard running header with "Visual Identity / Typography" top left, the title "Leading / Display headlines: F1 Wide" center-left in two sizes, page 86 top right, under a hairline rule. A narrow left column of body copy explains how to set leading for the low, squat F1 Wide cut at large sizes. The right is a large near-black rounded panel: small white intro copy at the top, then a tall hyphenated headline "DOWN- / FORCE / SLIP- / STREAM" in the extended F1 Wide cut, overlaid on faint horizontal baseline-grid lines. A small caption at the foot of the panel gives the point size, leading, and tracking.

Key takeaway

The matched-pair approach: this page is identical in structure to the F1 Black leading page but swaps the weight and the spec values, so a designer learns one layout and reads every weight the same way. Hyphenating a long word over four tight lines also shows the extended cut as a graphic stack.

Reuse notes

Reusable per-weight leading page; keep the layout fixed across weights and change only the specimen and the numbers. The baseline-grid-plus-values format is the takeaway. Sits in a set with the F1 Black and F1 Bold leading pages.
