Question posted in 
Is it okay to sometimes style blog post differently, using inline styling?
Changing font size, color, margins and so on for some elements in the specific blog post.
In my case, I have started making a long blog post, and I want to change a lot of styles just for that one post because I can make it more beautiful without touching child theme.
Is that a bad practice (from design and SEO perspective) or is it a normal way of doing things?

In general, inline styling is bad, it will be hard to manage for the long term. Most blogs attempt to maintain some sort of styling across all posts. This is easier to manage if you leverage an external CSS file.
WordPress is great to spin up a free web page fast. But later on you’ll find it very limited. Still it’s better than a web site with monthly payments (IMHO). For example a menu bar solution is provided without have to code everything from scratch. Great, but the font default was an ugly Times Roman. Ultimately I let the theme fonts stay the same in then Menu. Then down in the body I had to sprinkle My text body. everywhere below in the page. It was more cut and text paste pasting but easier than creating my own custom theme…
