Did you plan beforehand the sizes of the H1 during the tutorial? I was wondering why you came up with the sizes: font-size: 1.75em, font-weight: normal, and line-height: 0.8em, Are these just random numbers or was there some serous thought on how it would be presented in the web browser, I look forward to your response.

If a browser uses the recommended standards, an H1 will have a font size of 2.0em, and a font-weight of bold. The Google font used in the course looks better in an H1 with a slightly smaller font size. The line-height of 0.8 em again just looks a bit better for this particular page.
As for the font-weight, this font only has normal and normal italic types, but both of those are already a bit bolder than most other fonts. Because of this, and just in the case of this specific font, a font-weight of normal would be used. If you choose a different font for your site, you'll want to see if the font has a bold version first, and decide if you want to change the font-weight.
