What Is Small Caps?
Small caps are uppercase letterforms drawn at roughly the height of lowercase letters. True small caps are designed with matching stroke weight, not just shrunken capitals. They let you emphasise words — abbreviations, names, or opening phrases — without the jarring size jump of full capitals.
Fake small caps, produced by scaling down regular capitals, look too thin next to the surrounding text. Real small caps keep the right weight and proportions.
