Jsfiddle
How can I change the css of the span so it's vertically centered to the h1 on the left of it?
Hope it's not to complicated!

Answer 1

Your best bet is using Flex styles.
Remove all styles for '.title i', '.title span', '.title h1'
Edit title as below:
Flex title style:
.title {
width: 100%;
margin: 30px auto;
text-align: center;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
justify-content: center; - This re-aligns your H1, dash, and span in the middle.
align-items: center; - This gives you that vertical alignment.

Answer 2

Add a wrapper around h1 and span, then set it as a inline-flex. The wrapper will be centered because of the text-align with title.
Fiddle
.title {
width: 100%;
margin: 30px auto;
text-align: center;
}
.wrapper {
display: inline-flex;
justify-content: flex-start;
align-items: center;
}
.title i {
color: var(--grey-500);
}
.title span {
font-size: var(--caption);
line-height: 40px;
color: #9E9E9E;
}
.title h1 {
color: var(--black);
font-size: var(--h1);
text-align: center;
font-weight: 500;
margin: 65px auto;
}
<div class="title">
<div class="wrapper">
<h1>Title 1</h1> <i class="material-icons separateTitleType">remove</i> <span>Page</span>
</div>
</div>

Answer 3

Add this code to .title
display: flex;
justify-content:center;
align-items:center;
Also, i removed margin: 65px auto from h1 so it wouldn't take all the place in flex-container.
/* Titles */
.title {
width: 100%;
margin: 30px auto;
text-align: center;
display: flex;
justify-content:center;
align-items:center;
}
.title i {
color: var(--grey-500);
}
.title span {
font-size: var(--caption);
line-height: 40px;
color: #9E9E9E;
}
.title h1 {
color: var(--black);
font-size: var(--h1);
text-align: center;
font-weight: 500;
}
:root {
--black: #000000;
--h1: 2.125em;
--caption: 0.875em;
--grey-500: #9E9E9E;
}
