: My local newspapers used two-inch high type for headlines about the arrest of two men in the Washington-area sniper case. In journalism school we called these "Second Coming of Christ headlines." Nobody around here seems to have heard that term so I thought I'd share.
second coming The largest display type used for newspaper
headlines; reserved for news of the highest importance.

The End Times.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
What would be the biggest
story tomorrow's newspaper could report of the end of this Millennium? It would
be an account of the end of the world as we know it, and the return of the Lord
Jesus. Newspapers have always been fascinated by the thought of the return of
the Lord Jesus Christ. At a national conference of USA newspaper editors, there
was a competition to write the greatest headline. The winner wrote simply: "Jesus
Christ Returns to Earth". Years ago, while in a newspaper office to improve my
skills at writing a regular newspaper column, I learned in the printing trade,
the largest print type that can be used on a front page headline is called Second
Coming Type.
