HTML & CSS Gap between Nav Bar and <h1> text

Hi there, I was making my website when I noticed that there was a gap that gets filled up by other elements between the nav bar and the Header of the Page when I do not want that to happen. Do you think you could help?
CSS: 
h1 {
    float:left;
    padding-top: 15px;
    padding-right: 25px;
    padding-left: 25px;
    padding-bottom: 25px;
}

a {
    color: #66ff00;
    text-decoration: none;
}

.topnav a {
    float: right;
    padding-top: 25px;
    text-align: center;
    color: #66ff00;
    padding-bottom: 25px;
    padding-left: 10px;
    padding-right: 10px;
}
HTML: 
<header>
            <div class="topnav">
                <a href="Contact.html">Contact Us</a>
                <a href="Join-us.html">Join Us</a>
                <a href="Projects.html">Our Projects</a>
                <a href="About.html">About Us</a>
                <a href="#home" class="active">Home</a>
            </div>
            <div class="title">
                <h1>Joshua Miles Foundation</h1>
            </div>
    </header>

There may be several reasons for the gap you are seeing, you can fix it with below ways,
Instead of floating <h1>, use Flexbox

Code: 
.header {
  display: flex; /* Enable Flexbox for the header */
  align-items: center; /* Align contents vertically within the header */
  justify-content: space-between; /* Distribute elements horizontally */
}

.title {
  padding: 15px 25px; /* Adjust padding if needed */
}

.topnav a {
  padding: 10px; /* Adjust padding if needed */
}
