header span {
    font-size 26px;
}

You simply target the header element first and then descend towards the span that's inside of the header.

Note that my code above will target every header with a span inside of it. If you want to be specific, you can target the classes and id's instead.

EDIT: Like Jumoke said, be sure to not forget to add proper classes in your html with the class attribute!

Don't forget to add the class attribute to your html.

<span class="primary-content t-border"> ... </span>
