Small Caps are commonly used in typography. They are uppercase characters set at the same height and weight as surrounding lowercase letters. They are used to prevent capitalized words from appearing too large on the page to emphasis text alongside or instead of italics. For example, they can be used to draw attention to the opening phrase or line of a new section of text.

Tracking increases the space between characters evenly, regardless of the characters.Tracking can affect line endings and hyphenation. When we talk about a font’s spacing, or letter fit, we’re referring to the amount of space between the characters, which in turn gives the typeface its relative openness or tightness.



A basic system for classifying typefaces was devised in the nineteenth century, when printers sought to identify a heritage for their own craft analogous to that of art history. Black letter and Old style letterforms are closely connected to calligraphy and the movement of the hand. Transitional and modern typefaces are more abstract and less organic. These six main groups correspond roughly to the Renaissance, Baroque, and Enlightenment periods in art and literature. Designers in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have continued to create new typefaces based on historic characteristics.

A word or even two at the top of a column that belongs with the paragraph at the bottom of the first column looks out of place.The start of a paragraph at the bottom of a column is equally annoying. On the next page if the rest of the sentence continues it can also usually destroy continuity for the reader. Not everyone agrees on what constitutes a orphan and what makes a word a widow

Widows and orphans are those words or short phrases at the end or beginning of paragraphs that are left to sit alone at the top or bottom of a column which are separated from the rest of the paragraph. These widowed and orphaned bits of text can make our stories harder to read and make layouts look unbalanced.
