Basic Typography Specimens H2-H6 With Extended Text Examples

This is how second-level headings appear. They create major sections within your content, providing visual hierarchy without overwhelming the primary title. Notice the spacing above and below – carefully calibrated to create breathing room.

This Third Level Heading Also Extends Across Multiple Lines to Show How the Theme Handles Longer Headlines

Third-level headings nest within sections, creating subcategories of thought. They're smaller than their H2 parents but still command attention. Perfect for breaking down complex topics into digestible pieces.

Fourth Level Headings Can Also Run Long, Though at This Size They Begin to Resemble Bold Body Text

Fourth-level headings get progressively smaller, maintaining hierarchy while becoming more intimate. At this level, we're getting into the details – the fine print that still deserves structure.

Fifth Level Headings Are Barely Larger Than Body Text but They Still Maintain Their Role in Document Structure

By the fifth level, headings become barely distinguishable from bold text, yet they maintain their semantic importance. These are for the truly obsessive organizers among us.

Sixth Level Headings Are the Smallest in the Hierarchy and Even When They Extend to Multiple Lines They Whisper Rather Than Shout

The sixth and final heading level whispers rather than shouts. It's here for completeness, for those edge cases where five levels of hierarchy just aren't enough.

Sometimes headings need to go somewhere. This heading contains a link, styled to maintain readability while indicating interactivity. Hover over it. Click if you dare. You'll only end up back here.

This is a standard paragraph. The workhorse of web typography. Neither too large nor too small, with line height optimized for extended reading. These paragraphs can run long, expressing complete thoughts across multiple sentences. They can contain bold text for emphasis, italic text for subtlety, and even links to other places. The paragraph is the foundation upon which all long-form content is built.


Quotations

This is a small quote. A brief thought pulled from the text, highlighted for emphasis. It might be a key insight, a memorable phrase, or simply something worth repeating.

The space between elements matters as much as the elements themselves. This transitional paragraph provides breathing room between different block types, preventing visual collision while maintaining narrative flow.

Here's another paragraph to demonstrate spacing. Notice how paragraphs maintain consistent rhythm, creating a vertical cadence that guides the eye downward. This spacing isn't arbitrary – it's mathematically derived from the base unit system, ensuring harmony across all elements.

"This is a big quote. When someone says something particularly profound or when you need to make a statement that demands attention, the large quote format ensures it won't be missed. The increased size and distinctive styling create a natural pause in the reading rhythm."

Images

Regular Width

This is a regular width image. It stays within the content column, maintaining readable line lengths for surrounding text. Perfect for supporting imagery that doesn't need to dominate.

Wide Width

Wide images break out of the content column slightly, creating visual interest without overwhelming. They draw attention while maintaining relationship to the text.

Full Width

Full-width images demand attention. They create chapter breaks, section dividers, or simply moments of visual drama. Use sparingly for maximum effect.

Galleries present multiple images in an organized grid. They maintain consistent spacing and automatically adjust to different screen sizes. Each image can be viewed individually or as part of the collection.


Interactive Elements

Buttons

Buttons are used for call-to-actions that link to other pages. This left-aligned button sits on the edge of the Wide width so it can be combined with the big blocks.

Center-aligned buttons on posts are shifted to left-align with the main text column. On pages they are aligned to the horizontal center so they can be combined with the Header block.


Bookmarks

Bookmarks create rich previews of external content. They're more engaging than simple links, providing context before the click. The theme automatically generates these from URLs, pulling metadata to create informative cards.

Toggle (Accordion)

What is a toggle block and when should I use it?

Toggle blocks, also known as accordions, allow you to hide detailed information behind a clickable header. They're perfect for FAQs, additional details that might overwhelm the main narrative, or progressive disclosure of complex information. This particular toggle explains its own existence, creating a meta-commentary on information architecture.

How does the toggle animation work?

The toggle animation uses smooth transitions to reveal hidden content. When clicked, the arrow indicator rotates, the content area expands, and the text fades in. This creates a polished interaction that feels native to the theme. The animation duration is precisely timed to feel responsive without being jarring.

Can toggles contain rich content?

Absolutely. Toggles can contain any content type – paragraphs, lists, images, even other embeds. This makes them incredibly versatile for organizing complex information. You could hide entire tutorials, detailed specifications, or supplementary content that enriches the main narrative without cluttering it. The styling remains consistent regardless of what's inside.

  • Term One

    This is the definition of the first term. Definition lists create structured pairs of terms and descriptions.
