: Possible fonts for tabs in technical site heading hierarchy As we sort of came to accept as an axiom - the heading fonts for any document should be arranged in an hierarchy, and the hierarchy

As we sort of came to accept as an axiom - the heading fonts for any document should be arranged in an hierarchy, and the hierarchy font choices should make sense and match.

I have a design that looks something like this:



Clicking on Item One opens an Item One tab with the heading hierarchy presented.

Without going into discussion on the validity of the design (but please, by all means, do point it out if you think it's important) - how one would arrange the heading hierarchy?

It seems to me that it should include the tabs (on both sides) as well, since they serve as headings in concept, but then I have too much - 5 (or 4 if you think that both tabs should have the same styling - which I do).

Any ideas?

Why don't you just use breadcrumbs? It's a little series of text links which show how you've drilled down to reach your current location.

So above "Heading one" is a little link which says Home → Page → Tab 1. Clicking on any of those links brings you to that section, and you always know where you are.

Since breadcrumbs won't work at all:


Tab: Capitals bold
Item: mixed case bold
Heading 1: capitals regular
Heading 2: maybe mixed-case italic?
Text: roman
