Can I chose among H1-H6 tags based on font size?

I am an old timer coder from when there wasn't CSS and when we used HTML only to embellish pages. I am saying this then my question will make sense.

OK being tags h1 to h6 set to define importance in page contents is wrong to chose different H tag based on font size in order to match the design?

For instances can I use H4 in the main title of a page just because it has the right size while H1 is too big?

Or in such case I should use H1 and restyle it to the font size I want instead?

Thanks!

    You can, but it is not semantically correct. CSS should be used for styling purposes. You can read about semantics and the benefits of writing semantic markup here.
