Header 6
Usage
Open Appearance β Customize β Styles β Header 6 to set the smallest heading preset on your scale. Defaults use the Alternate font with uppercase Transform and bold Weight β useful for "Older Post" / "Newer Post" labels, table headings, and compact UI titles.
Applies to <h6> elements and the H6 visual style (is-style-h6).
When to use it
- Blog post navigation, archive micro-labels, and footer column titles that should not read as section headers.
- When the bottom of your hierarchy needs one more step below Header 5.
- Pairing with Styles β Utility Nav for masthead-adjacent small text β utility links use their own font-size control but can share this uppercase voice.
Tips
- Theme templates use H6 for post pagination labels β changes here are immediately visible on blog pages.
- At this size, Tracking and Transform do more work than Size for legibility.
- Links inside H6 headings lighten on hover automatically; standalone text links use Styles β Links or Inline Links instead.
- For pill-shaped filters, use Styles β Tags rather than shrinking headings further.
