@nikitonsky There are many cases where it’s relevant for stylistic reasons, but one very obvious example where it’s mandated by the content and that I’m working with right now: dictionaries. Not all dictionaries are strictly lowercase-only, but all except a few types are definitely lowercase-mostly. It looks really off when you centre on the cap height.
