Learn how to use all of great features that Concise provides.

Headings

Concise includes all standard HTML headings <h1> through <h6>. Also included are classes .h1 through .h6 that match the size of their respective headings, but can be used on any element.

A SASS map has been created for each of the various heading sizes to make scaling as simple as possible. You can find these maps at the top of the /base/_headings.scss file.

Font Families

Typography is a key to effective design, so Concise makes it simple to control in your project.

By default, Helvetica, with Arial as a fallback, is used as the default font for headings on non-mobile devices. However, for Android phones, Droid Sans is used as the default font, with Helvetica and Arial as fallbacks.

You can change the $base-heading-font-family variable in the /helpers/_variables.scss file to adjust the base font families.

Sub-Headings

You also can create sub-headings for your headings using the <small> tag or the .small class. !important is included to avoid specificity issues.

Extra-Large

Sometimes there is a need for headings that are larger than the standard <h1> through <h6>. Anticipating this need, Concise comes with three classes that can be used to super-size your type.
