Expanded features development by Joshua Darden, with production assistance by Thomas Jockin.
As the primary text design in the Freight series, Freight Text offers a variety of degrees of emphasis, from the spare, bony Light to the beefy Black. Designed concurrently, the romans and italics differ in texture but move with one calligraphic accord: neither is necessarily subject to the other.
Conceived from the start to live on the page at text sizes, Freight Text was proofed extensively on press during its development. As a result, its forms have been finely tuned to anticipate the specific problems of print reproduction.
