Hi all,

I am new here, and here is my first post. I could have posted on StackOverflow,
but I would like to have a more general discussion beyond a single question.
So, here it is. In the attached, given an example of a page of a certain PhD thesis
(http://groups.di.unipi.it/~ottavian/fil ... thesis.pdf is the link).
I would like to see how to achieve those effects. E.g. the section number all-caps,
the number hanging to the left margin, the section running title with less intense
colour. Is titlesec package the way to go?
And, also -- what is the font? Unfortunately, the author does not list the styles
on his github page.

Thanks in advance.

Why not asking the author?
