Small Caps Text: Where It Helps and Where It Hurts

Small caps unicode is elegant for labels, section headers and short badges. It is a poor choice for long copy, because the glyphs are unusual and reading speed drops.

Generate a few variants with Font Style Generator and use small caps for the label, with normal text underneath. That pairing keeps the page scannable.

Check contrast and line height too; styling cannot rescue a layout that is already cramped.
