What is the compound adjective used to describe letters that are not capital letters?

• A. Lowercase
• B. Uppercase
• C. Capitalized
• D. Smallcase

Answer: (A)

Lowercase is the term used to describe letters that are not capital letters. It’s a compound adjective formed from “lower” and “case,” and it describes the small letters in a font. In typography, you contrast lowercase with uppercase, which are the capital letters. “Capitalized” refers to making the first letter of a word uppercase, not to the overall set of letters, and “smallcase” isn’t a standard term.
