BOXED HEADINGS THE PLACE TO LEARN

If you are not using Adobe InDesign then you can achieve this by overlaying the text on a solid box but following the spacing guidance specified on the right.

The headings can be set in white text for overlaying on all the ‘Strong’ palette except yellow where the text must be set in black to ensure sufficient contrast. The headings will pass accessibility standards for contrast to ‘AA’ provided they are set to 14pt or larger.

The first line of text is emphasised on these examples using the ‘regular’ weight of Trajan, followed by the ‘light’ weight on the second line. This is optional depending on the title you are using and the emphasis you require.

If using the coloured text on a white box heading then you must not use text in yellow. This will not be sufficiently contrasted for passing accessibility standards. If in doubt please refer to; webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker
