Default Re: Proper Names - Definition



You mean 'unicase' doesn't actually mean unicase?




No, it means exactly what it says - it is a font with only one case, though the design of the glyphs borrows from the forms typically used for lowercase and uppercase. My previous post wasn't accurate - while all the glyphs usually have the same height, on reflection there's no reason they have to. (None that I'm aware of, that is. Maybe Thomas could comment.) Using such a font, you cannot capitalise words in the accepted sense. I guess you could increase the point size of a letter, but that would seem to me to defeat the point of using such a font in the first place.

Since I mentioned Hypatia Sans, I should point out that the unicase alphabet is only one of many stylistic sets and the font has normal uppercase and lowercase alphabets too.
