18. HEADLINE ONE Headline Two HEADLINE THREE On the opposite side, instead of progressively increasing font size for each heading level, especially as we now have such a vast selection of web fonts available and fonts are rendered with much more detail than before, we can use italics, small caps and all caps at the same le er size to establish text hierarchy. Add bolds into the mix, and you have a pale e of at least 6 styles.
