All capsIn typography, text in all caps or all uppercase consists of capital letters without any lowercase letters. For example, the sentence "THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG" is all-caps. All-caps text can be seen in legal documents, advertisements, newspaper headlines, and the titles on book covers. Short strings of words in uppercase letters appear bolder and "louder" than mixed case, and this is sometimes referred to as "shouting" (or "screaming").*As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
