Two more customizing issues

    Two little customizing issues –

    1)I have installed “simple custom css” on this installation, as per your suggestion on my other website.

    As much as I love the fonts used in the menu items and headings on this theme, I don’t really want this site to look too much like the other one I’m building, so I’d like to change those fonts Main menu items and headings to a different font family, perhaps something similar to the fonts used in the banner image. Is this something I can do with Simple Custom CSS, and if so, how, please?

    2) Is there any way to reduce the height of the white area where the main menu lives? Should this be done with custom CSS, or with a child theme?

    All these can be done with just CSS changes, so yes, you can use the Simple Custom CSS for this one.

    For the menu font, this is the default styling:

    .primary-navigation {
    font-family: "Playfair Display", Georgia, serif;
    font-size: 1.125rem;
    font-weight: 400;
    font-style: italic;
}

    For the Headings, this is the default styling:

    h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
    margin: 16px 0;
    font-family: "Playfair Display", Georgia, Serif;
    font-weight: 400;
    font-style: italic;
    line-height: 1.1;
}

    For the white space in the header area, this is the default padding:

    #masthead {
    padding: 1.75% 0;
}

    The only time you would need a child theme is if you plan to make any changes to the theme templates (files) such as HTML code, layouts, adding new code, etc.
