Hi Shopify Community,
I wanted to increase the font size of the excerpt in my article template (debu theme). It looks too small for a subheading. How do I increase the font-size?
Topic summary
Increase the excerpt font size in a Shopify article template (Debut theme). The goal is to make the excerpt look more like a subheading.
A participant asked for store URL/password to diagnose directly. The requester preferred to collaborate and asked for best practices instead.
A simple CSS change was applied and worked: .article-excerpt { font-size: larger; }. Before/after screenshots show the excerpt clearly larger.
Open question: whether using the CSS keyword “larger” is a good practice. No consensus or authoritative guidance was provided; the thread remains unresolved.
Technical notes:
- The selector .article-excerpt targets the excerpt element; editing theme CSS affects all article excerpts site-wide.
- “font-size: larger” is a relative CSS keyword, increasing size based on the parent’s font size (not a fixed pixel/rem value).
Artifacts central to understanding: screenshots illustrating the original and the updated font size. No other code or attachments beyond the single CSS rule.
