Mostly because it’s not so simple and it’s a bit more of a grey area than the previous three articles. Typographic hierarchy, put simply, is how different faces, weights and sizes of typefaces structure a document. Some of these hierarchical devices are well-established conventions, such as cross heads and folios, so I’m not going to touch on them in this post. To keep it simple I’m going to concentrate on two things - size and weight.
