Why use a separate tag for big text ?

Question

why should we use a separate tag for big text ? I mean we can use the font size tag right ?

Answer 1

I think <big> has do with SEO. Whereas, <font size=x> tag is more of visual presentation tag and it is no more supported in HTML5

Answer 2

css is used in lieu of it

Answer 3

All the best, you will enjoy css even more than HTML.

Answer 4

Many of the strange tags in html can be seen as hangovers from the early days of the internet when the only thing that could be on a webpage was text. Remember there was a time when html was the only web language.
