make collection titles smaller for collection list

Store Design
, ,

Topic summary

Goal: Reduce the font size of collection titles in the Collection list section on mobile only (Dawn theme).

Key solutions proposed:

  • Edit theme CSS file (base.css/style.css/theme.css) and add media queries:
    • Desktop (≥750px): .collection-list h3.card__heading { font-size: 1.5rem; }
    • Mobile (≤749px): .collection-list h3.card__heading { font-size: 2.5rem; }
    Notes: This sets different sizes by breakpoint; screenshots were provided to illustrate desktop and mobile results.
  • Use Theme Settings > Customize > Theme Settings > Custom CSS and add:
    • @media (max-width: 768px) { li.collection-list__item h3.card__heading a { font-size: 14px !important; } }
    Notes: Targets only mobile and explicitly sets a smaller font size; a result screenshot link was provided.

Technical details:

  • Both approaches rely on CSS media queries to scope changes to mobile viewports.
  • Selectors differ (.collection-list h3.card__heading vs. li.collection-list__item h3.card__heading a), which may affect specificity and where the size applies.

Hi @ads18922

Try this one.

  1. From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Online Store” and then “Themes”.
  2. Find the theme that you want to edit and click on “Actions” and then “Edit code”.
  3. 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:
@media only screen and (min-width: 750px){
.collection-list h3.card__heading {
    font-size: 1.5rem;
}
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 749px){
.collection-list h3.card__heading {
    font-size: 2.5rem;
}
}
