Capital Definition
The word ‘capital’ in relation to art is associated with capital letter. All inscriptions used to be in capital letters until the sixth century. These large letters are mainly used in names or to begin a sentence. These letters are also known as uppercase letters in typography. The name uppercase is derived from the location it is stored by the typesetters. Even though capital letters seems to be visually powerful, wide use of it is not recommended as it may imply a way of shouting. They are also considered difficult to read.
