Small caps are just that: small, uppercase letterforms designed to sit alongside lowercase type. This results in the small-caps type appearing to be a more natural part of the text.
All-caps text can often be hard to read and shouts out at the reader. Small caps, on the other hand, feel like a more natural part of the text, and it’s typically slightly larger than the typeface’s x-height.
If using faux small caps (capitals artificially reduced in size) the small caps will look too light. This is where small caps come to play – they’re designed for that purpose.
