The Google fonts Cormorant and Open Sans are used for most of the web typography. Deviation from this should be consistent with the Wake Forest web colors.

Content headings

Heading levels 1-6 are used below. Heading 1 is used as the page title on each page; therefore, section headings start with Heading 2.

Heading levels on your website should follow a nested, outline-like structure to clearly organize sections and subsections of your content. Properly nesting headings without skipping levels ensures your page remains accessible and easy to navigate for users, including those relying on assistive technology like screen readers.
