Tall Man Lettering
Captions available
The idea
Tall man lettering is the practice of capitalizing the differing portion of two similar names so the difference is visible.
In practice
The differing letters are set in capitals while the shared letters stay lowercase.
Where people slip
Tall man lettering makes a difference visible. It does not remove the similarity.
