Probably as a reaction to the pragmatism of modernist design, the 1970s saw an explosion of buoyant, vivacious typography. Psychedelia fueled a return to the melting, lush shapes of Art Nouveau, while Pop culture embraced the usage of funky, joyful lettering for advertising, product design, and TV titling. New low-cost technologies like photo-lettering and rub-on transfer required new fonts to be expressive rather than legible, pushing designers to produce bubbly, high-spirited masterpieces, where geometric excess and calligraphic inventions melded joyfully.
Freitag is Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini's homage to this era and its typography. His starting point was the design of a heavy sans serif with humanist condensed proportions, flared stems, and reverse contrast, which generated both the main family and a variant display subfamily.
The main typeface family slowly builds the tension and design exuberance along the weight axis - a bit like our desire for the weekend increases during the week. In Light and Medium weights, the font shows a more controlled, medium-contrast design, tightly spaced for maximum display effect. The Book weight follows the same design but uses a more relaxed letter spacing to allow usage in smaller sizes and short body copy. As weight increases in the Bold weight, the style becomes more expressive, with a visible reverse contrast building up and culminating in the Heavy weight with its clearly visible "bell bottoms" feel.
In the display subfamily, the design is pushed further by introducing variant letterforms that have a stronger connection to calligraphy and lettering. Also, the weight range becomes an optical one, with weights marked as Medium, Large, and XLarge, as bringing the contrast and the boldness to the extreme creates smaller counterspaces that require bigger usage sizes. Another important addition of the display subfamily is the connected italics that sport swash capitals and cursive letterforms, developed with logo design and ultra-expressive editorial design in mind. To balance the extreme contrast in the XL weight, the contrast of punctuation is reduced, creating a rich, highly dynamic texture wherever diacritics and marks are used in the text.
The full family includes 16 styles + 4 variable fonts, allowing full control of the design over its tree-hugging design space. All 20 fonts share an extended Latin character set with OpenType features, including case-sensitive forms, single and double-story variants, and alternate glyphs.
According to its creator, "Freitag is the typeface that sounds like an imaginary Woodstock where Novarese, Motter, Excoffon, and Benguiat are playing onstage with Jimi Hendrix."
