Avoid using all‑caps as it reduces readability and slows scanning. It works best when applied sparingly and paired with sufficient spacing and contrast.
Key points:
All caps are harder to read because uniform letter shapes reduce word recognition.
Avoid using all caps for long headings, paragraphs, or instructions—reserve it for brief labels, buttons, or acronyms.
- All caps can feel like shouting in some contexts, so use it intentionally and with tone in mind.
- Ensure strong color contrast and adequate size, since all‑caps text can appear visually denser and heavier.
Recommended to increase letter‑spacing (tracking) slightly to improve legibility when all caps are necessary.
