How can I make my website title bold on the Dawn theme?

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

Goal: Make the Shopify Dawn site title (“EMPIRICAL WATER”) appear bold.

What was tried: Adding CSS in the theme’s CSS file (Assets > base.css/style.css/theme.css): “h1.header__heading span.h2 { font-weight: 900 !important; }”. This worked only on the home page.

Working solution: Replace with a broader selector so it applies across all pages: “.header-wrapper.color-background-1.gradient.header-wrapper–border -bottom span.h2 { font-weight: 900 !important; }”. Apply it via Online Store > Themes > Edit code > Assets > the theme’s main CSS file, then save. A screenshot was shared showing the bold result.

Outcome: Confirmed by the requester as working perfectly on all pages. Discussion resolved; no remaining questions.

I’d like only the title of the website, EMPIRICAL WATER, to appear in bold. What’s the solution for this?

Theme: Dawn

Thanks,

Arby

Hi @empiricalarby

Try this one.

  • From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Online Store” and then “Themes”.
  • Find the theme that you want to edit and click on “Actions” and then “Edit code”.
  • In the “Assets” folder, click on “base.css, style.css or theme.css” file, depending on which file your theme uses to store its CSS styles. At the bottom of the file, add the following CSS code:
h1.header__heading span.h2 {
    font-weight: 900 !important;
}

Thanks, but it only affects the font when I’m at the home page. Could it be adjusted to work when I am on other pages as well?

Same Instruction.

.header-wrapper.color-background-1.gradient.header-wrapper--border-bottom span.h2 {
    font-weight: 900 !important;
}

And Save.
