Multiple Choice

When varying the appearance of headings within your proposal, which should be varied last?

When shaping headings, you want to establish hierarchy and readability first with size, weight, and color before resorting to more assertive decorations. Font size sets the scale and signals levels of headings, boldface strengthens emphasis and helps the eye move through the structure, and color can differentiate sections or add tone without sacrificing legibility. Underlining is the most visually heavy and least flexible option; it can resemble a hyperlink and complicate printing or screen reading, making it the last styling choice you’d apply to headings. So you vary everything else first, and reserve underlining for the final touch, or skip it altogether.
