Editorial label, then serif title, then body is the canonical hierarchy
The Rule
Editorial label, then serif title, then body is the canonical hierarchy
Why It Matters
This three-tier pattern (tiny caps label, large serif heading, readable body) creates a consistent reading rhythm across every page. The label orients, the title anchors, the body informs. Breaking this pattern makes a page feel disorganized even if the content is good.
