An example of a technical instruction for a headline is the following.

The second number (20) stands for the type size to be used. BB refers to Bodoni Bold, a
type family with the corresponding weight (how thick and black the letters will appear on the
page). Kicker refers to the preliminary head. The line below refers to the number of lines or
decks your headline will have.
