 * 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.
