head line

Article's bold introduction

Head line, usually written as one word, is a title or caption at the top of an article or page, designed to grab attention and summarize content.

As a verb, to headline is to provide such a title or to be the featured performer: She headlined the festival.

In palmistry, the head line is the crease across the palm supposedly indicating intellect.
