In version 2.5.0, we updated the font size and typography utility classes to make them more flexible. We removed the semantic heading-level references (h1, h2, etc...) from the class names and replaced them with a basic sizing scale (xl, lg, …). Semantic heading levels in an HTML document don't always match the visual hierarchy in designs, so we're no longer pretending they do.

Heading utility classes

Before:

• .ds-h{level} where level is a number between 1 and 6
