Typographic Hierarchy

The hierarchy of text can be determined several ways. One of the most common methods is through text size; other options include the weight of the text, the use of color, the position and alignment of the text, and the case of the text are all used to create a form of contrast. The most important part of a piece of text, such as a title, is usually positioned to be the most visible, with all of the other text below it being an elaboration of the title.
