Headings
Headings are used as the titles of each major section of a page. They play a crucial role in organizing content, guiding users through information, and emphasizing key points. They define hierarchy, typography specifications, and best practices for creating visually cohesive and accessible headings.
Overview
Headings help users and search engines to read and understand text. Headings also define which parts of your content are important, and show how they're interconnected
If you have an empty heading, a screen reader will alert the user that a heading is present, but it will not read out any text because there is none available to read. This may confuse users and could keep them from accessing the information on the page. If a user is navigating the contents of the page and they encounter an empty heading, they may move forward to the next heading in the list and could potentially miss entire sections of content.
Headings and subtitles
Headings range from H1 to H6. Subtitles are complementary to headings. They are typically reserved to give more context to a heading, they are only available underneath headings H1 and H2.

Headings differentiation by Business Unit
The heading weights serve as a means to establish distinct visual languages for each Business Unit, contributing to the differentiation between Residential, Business, and Enterprise segments. This distinction is specifically applied to H1 and H2 headings and their subtitle to ensure a harmonious balance within the heading hierarchy.
Residential headings
Proximus ExtraBold for H1 and H2
Proximus Light for subtitle
Business & Entreprise headings
Proximus Light for H1 and H2

Mixing Font Weights
In H1 and H2 headings, you have the flexibility to mix font weights for emphasis. For Business and Entreprise segments, you can highlight specific words in bold while keeping the majority of the heading in the default font style, ensuring a balanced visual impact. This approach helps you create effective visual emphasis in your headings while aligning with Proximus' design guidelines. Please note that this font weight mixing is not applicable to the RES segment.

Heading by Business Unit
The weights of the headings are used to identify a Business Unit's visual language.
This is one of the ways to create different visual languages between Residential, Business, and Enterprise.

, rs-ebu
.
Don't forget to respect title's semantic. <h*> tag are not used for their size but to organize content of a page. See more details . If you need a specific size, use classes.

H2 like H6 with rs-tit6
H3 like H2 with rs-tit2
H6 like H1 with rs-tit3
Heading with subtitle
The spacing between titles and subtitles has been studied graphically and therefore a class must be used to notify them as title and subtitle. Simply add to the title the class rs-has-subtit
and to the subtitle the class rs-subtit
.
Title class="rs-has-subtit" directly followed by another title
class="rs-subtit" = Secondary title preceeded by another title
