A note on the type / Featured projects & thoughts from the Darden Studio.

Custom Typography


This small project kicked off our expanded features for Freight. The Boston Globe Magazine commissioned fractions for the entire Freight series, which pushed us to contemplate a favorite typographic kōan: kerning the 7 / 4 fraction triplet. This magazine is printed using the gravure process, which considerably softens the hairlines of Freight Big — the Display steps in where appropriate.
