Leading - Display headlines: F1 Wide

Visual Identity Typography

When we use large type sizes (over 50pt) we must pay close attention to the leading to maintain a tight and graphic feel.

Our display headlines may require some visual optimisation when used at large sizes.

Here are some points to keep them feeling bold and graphic.

To enhance the feeling of speed and the low, squat nature of the Formula 1 cars, when using F1 Wide we set our leading to be quite tight.

The font has been drawn with tight leading by default. For most instances, other than very large headlines, setting our leading solid (equal to our pt size) looks good. As shown below:
