The good old <font> tag is deprecated which means something else is
preferred. However, browsers dare not ignore it - far too deeply
embedded in too many files. The use of css code is recommended but
that always takes up more space for no technical advantage.

Compared to the H's, the font tag does not add vertical spaces.
As others have said, though, the H's get higher recognition by search
engines.
