In title treatments, headlines, or any other instance, "THE" should never be one of the words you emphasize. It's a nothing word.
Agreed.![]()
A Nothing word?![]()
A new typography term?

Not really, I just made it up. I forget what part of speech "the" is... it's not a noun, verb, or adjective. Is it a definite/indefinite article? I can't remember...
Basically, any words that are practically meaningless all by themselves (a, an, the, of, is) should never be larger than words that actually mean something (story, untold, begins, amazing, spider-man).
