Freight frightens

knap13 January 2006 · 07:21

Hello Everyone,
See attachment: it’s Freight Medium 9 pt tracked at 0. Great newsy font but generates labyrinth effect in Polish when set in 39 mm columns. Already tried a variety of H&Js. This one seems optimal but not satisfying - the gaps.. 39 mm column is a must. Any ideas?

BTW: Does anybody know any newspaper in compact format [apart from Independent on Sunday] which uses 6 column grid?
Thanx in advance.

It seems like that may be more an issue of your column width, and word length, rather than an issue with Freight?

What happens if you bring the point size down to 8.75 and maybe track it -.5? Maybe a slight change like that could help.
