Introduction

A small cap is a letter having the form of a capital letter but smaller.

Form

The alphabet in small caps:

ᴀ ʙ ᴄ ᴅ ᴇ ғ ɢ ʜ ɪ ᴊ ᴋ ʟ ᴍ ɴ ᴏ ᴘ ǫ ʀ s ᴛ ᴜ ᴠ ᴡ x ʏ ᴢ

Example

  • Tʜᴇ ʙᴇsᴛ ʙᴏᴏᴋ
  • Mᴀɴᴜᴀʟ
  • 1sᴛ ᴇᴅɪᴛɪᴏɴ

Use

We use small caps in sections of text that need emphasis and where the use of uppercase capital letters would appear too intense to the reader.

Related

In English, besides Small caps we have Lowercase letters and Uppercase letters.
