The title page is the only page where you won’t need styles and indeed should mark your text and format it manually.
I would suggest the following settings:
- a slightly larger base font, e.g. 14pt instead of 12pt
- 24pt bold for the main title, 20pt standard for the subtitle, both centered and approximately one third down from upper margin
- Line spacing of 1 and Spacing Above paragraph as well as Below paragraph of 0; this will give the various main elements of your title page (top part, middle part and bottom part) a more compact appearance
