  • OK, I understand that it is effective to create contrast, but if contrast is all that matters, I could invert the colors and print the title in white on a black background. Obviously this looks "ugly", too much is going on. But why is changing the font face accepted if just increasing the size would be enough to create a visual anchor, as my first example shows. I think it works with that font face and yet the people behind that Latex class decided to use a different font face for titles. Commented Aug 10, 2018 at 13:10

    Think of a typographic palette just like a color palette. Sure you can create contrast by using different shades or the same color OR you can use complementary (different) colors. None of the options is inherently wrong, just different ways of tackling a problem. Commented Aug 10, 2018 at 13:31
