Feature leads are often found in short feature stories and they do not try to cram in the "who", "what", "where", "when", "why", and "how". These leads focus on providing a quick preview of what's to come in the story, the writer tempts the readers to wade into their stories to find out more. Feature leads add description, they try to set the story for the reader. Rather than packing in as much information as possible, feature leads want to entice the reader to find out more by reading deeper into the story.
On the other hand, summary leads relay on information cramming, for they want to pack as much content so the reader is aware of how the story will progress. As opposed to feature leads, summary leads focus on the "who", "what", "where", "when", "why", and "how". This type of lead focuses around the inverted pyramid style which would mean that the most important information was found at the beginning of the story and the importance of the information would decrease as the story progressed.
