When to Use Title Case, Sentence Case, and UPPERCASE

A quick guide to text casing conventions for headlines, code, and professional writing.

Choosing the right case improves readability and consistency across your content and UI.

Common conventions

  • Sentence case — Capitalize only the first word (and proper nouns). Great for body text and many modern UIs.
  • Title Case — Capitalize Major Words. Common in book titles and classic headlines.
  • UPPERCASE — Use sparingly for emphasis or acronyms; long uppercase blocks are hard to read.
  • lowercase — Brand styles or casual tones; avoid for formal documents.
  • camelCase / snake_case — Mostly for programming identifiers.
