If breeding an Orpington to a Leghorn, what would feathers look like?

Just curious....Would the fluffier feathers from the orp dominate the closer/tighter(for lack of a better term) feathers of the leghorn, or vice versa?

I have heard that the hen passes on her "type". I have done some Orp crosses , but the orp is always the hen. The offspring did all have her type. I haven't tried it with an orp roo over a different breed of hen though.
 
Thanks Happy for the response. I`ve also had crosses similar to this when I had all my birds free rangeing together. But that was at least 20 years ago, and I can`t remember what they looked liked, its all a blurr in my brain.
