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.

ALL CAPITALS

Uppercase converts every letter to its capital form without exception. It is used for warning labels, legal notices, acronyms, design contexts, and any text requiring maximum visual weight.

All caps is appropriate for short, high-emphasis phrases, system alerts, and design headlines. Extended uppercase text is harder to read and should be used sparingly.

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 Uppercase

All caps is appropriate for short, high-emphasis phrases, system alerts, and design headlines. Extended uppercase text is harder to read and should be used sparingly.

Every letter is capitalized. Punctuation, numbers, and symbols are unchanged. Letter-spacing is often added in design contexts to improve readability.

Choosing between them

Choose title case for readable headings and titles that follow conventional capitalization rules.

Choose uppercase for short, high-emphasis phrases, warning labels, acronyms, and design contexts requiring maximum visual weight.

Extended uppercase text is harder to read than title case because it reduces the distinctive shape profiles of individual words. Uppercase works best for short bursts of emphasis.
