More Impact
Your headline is often the very first piece of information visitors process. With a little attention to how you lay out your headline, you can increase it’s readability and impact.

TIP: Pay attention to how the lines break on different sized screens. Notebooks and mobile devices will wrap very differently. With a little bit of code, you can control how lines break on different devices.
