Description
The interpretation of GOV.UK Elements typography styles may have been too literal.
It states:
<h1 class="heading-xlarge">A 48px Bold heading</h1>
<h2 class="heading-large">A 36px Bold heading</h2>
<h3 class="heading-medium">A 24px Bold heading</h3>
<h4 class="heading-small">A 19px Bold heading</h4>
but in reality when looking at Gov.uk content the 36px size is rarely used, with the majority of h2's using the heading-medium size of 24px.

Research direction
Start by locating the GOV.UK Elements heading styles and the template content that describes them. Compare the documented hierarchy with heading usage in GOV.UK content, then update the interpretation so the documented sizes reflect the observed hierarchy; done means the heading guidance is consistent with that usage.
