Title Case
Every major word capitalized

Title case capitalizes every significant word in a title, including nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Short function words are lowercased unless they open or close the title.

Title case is the default format for book titles, film titles, and album names in American English. It signals that a phrase is a formal title rather than ordinary prose.

Lowercase
all lowercase

Lowercase converts every letter to its uncapitalized form. It is used for URL slugs, code identifiers, file names, and stylized creative copy where conventional capitalization is intentionally set aside.

Lowercase is required for most URLs, programming variables, and database identifiers. It is also adopted as a deliberate stylistic choice in branding and social media.

When to use Title Case

Title case is the default format for book titles, film titles, and album names in American English. It signals that a phrase is a formal title rather than ordinary prose.

Nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs are always capitalized. Articles, coordinating conjunctions, and short prepositions are lowercased in the middle of a title.

When to use Lowercase

Lowercase is required for most URLs, programming variables, and database identifiers. It is also adopted as a deliberate stylistic choice in branding and social media.

Every letter is lowercased. This is the default state of text before any capitalization rules are applied.

Choosing between them

Choose title case for formal titles, headings, and any context where conventional capitalization is expected.

Choose lowercase for URL slugs, code identifiers, file names, and stylized creative copy where capitalization is intentionally absent.

Lowercase in a title context reads as a deliberate stylistic choice or a technical format requirement, not a grammatical error. Title case signals formality and publication.
