 * Hello,
 * I wanted to find out how to change the size of my primary menu which is set as
   my header. It has a very small and thin size, and when changing in the typhogra[
   hy section in customizer, I can only change the font size of main body texts 
   and titles for posts and pages. I tried adding CSS I found online elsewhere but
   it doesn’t seem to work. My theme is ‘The Journal’.
 * Any help is much appreciated, thank you!

 * It would depend. Is this a font that’s already installed?

 * Yes it is already installed, we just can’t find a way of changing the font through
   customiser. Would we have to add CSS? Or can we do this through a plug-in?
 * Thank you!
