CalebK Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 I have this technique I like to employ where a string of text is completely written out using capital letters only the non-first letters are a smaller font. This gives the appearance of title style capitalization without using lower-case shapes. It might not look great zoomed in but from a distance it looks brilliant especially when there are all caps acronyms like FPGA> I would like to have this font style easily usable across fonts. I am wondering how one might set this up as a character/paragraph style(s) in Affinity Designer. Currently I very manually have to apply a different style to the first letter vs the rest of the word.

Alfred Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 Why not simply choose a font that includes small capitals? Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.5.1 (iPad 7th gen)
CalebK Posted July 24, 2019 Author Posted July 24, 2019 That is certainly a great option but I want to be able to do this in the font of the document. Alfred 1 Quote
walt.farrell Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 Have you looked at the menu Text > Capitalization > Small Caps? Just type your text normally, select it, and choose that option. Or, if you want to use Text Styles, have a look at the settings available under Typography, Capitals: Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.
