State whether the following is true or false.
A block of text set entirely in capitals is easier to read at small sizes than the same text in lower case.

  • A.False
  • B.True only at large scales
  • C.False only at small scales
  • D.True

Answer: A

Capitals lose the ascenders and descenders that give a word its distinctive outline, so the eye has less to work with. They suit short emphatic labels such as a country name but slow the reading of anything longer than a few words, which is why legend text is set in lower case.
