Styling H1s to appear like body content?
I hate the idea of stuffing keywords into H1s for the search engine’s benefit, at the expense of well-formed copy and the user’s experience.
So we were thinking of using our main page large/bold text being for the user, then further down the page the real H1 (with relevant keywords) looks like page copy.
However I recently read that Google doesn’t like that, and will consider the large/bold text as the ‘most important’ copy on the page – is that right? Is there a negative SEO effect to what I’m suggesting?
Any advice appreciated.

I do believe that putting H1 heading anywhere other than above your content might cause some issues. It’s structural. H1 – text – H2 – text – H3 – text. With Google getting more advanced each day it might be adjusted.
Bold text is still just a text as far as I am concerned.
Let’s just say that
<h1>Header</h1>
<p>content is <b>bold</b> </p>is better than
<p>content is <b>bold</b></p>
<h1>header</h1>I wanted to say also that browsers read your page from top to bottom. So that’s another factor to consider.
but you can definitely test it out.

Just do a good H1 which makes sense to the user
