headings + design

Writing is often organized and split into sections using headings. A little emphasis can add to both the design and the message that the writer is trying to convey. A simple change of fonts and size can do this, along with changing the spacing and the alignment around or between the letters of the particular text (Griffee & Casey, 1988, p. 213). When choosing two fonts for a document the general rule of thumb is that “the least legible one is most suited for headings” (Gelderman, 1999, p.104)
