Font usage is an important part of any identity system and typography
should be treated differently online. Finding the balance between
graphical headers and more bandwidth economic HTML type should be
done with practical care. While graphical headers can be used to
make pages more attractive, a typographic hierarchy combining graphical
and HTML text will aid in maintaining corporate consistency while
maximizing the bandwidth available.

Hierarchy
A typographic hierarchy is used in an identity system to establish
an order of communication. A hierarchy establishes orders of importance
in communication. A primary level of communication acts to establish
main points through display type (such as the graphical typefaces
above). Secondary level type consists of body copy, and all other
text (such as the HTML coded typefaces above).
