Understanding Each Case Style
Title Case
Title Case capitalizes the important words in a title while leaving short function words like “and,” “of,” and “to” in lowercase, unless they appear at the beginning or end. You use this style when you want a clean, traditional title that looks familiar to most English readers. The focus stays on the main nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs so the key ideas stand out at a glance.
Sentence Case
Sentence Case treats a title like a regular sentence. You capitalize the first word and any proper nouns, and you leave the rest in lowercase. This style feels modern, calm, and less shouty than aggressive capitalization. You often see it in product interfaces, marketing sites, and documentation where clarity and simplicity matter more than visual drama.
AP Style
AP Style comes from the Associated Press and guides headlines for newsrooms, blogs, and media sites. You capitalize most words that are four letters or longer and keep short conjunctions, articles, and prepositions lowercase in the middle of the title. You use AP style when you want your headlines to match journalistic standards and to look right next to other news-style titles. For a deeper reference, see the AP Stylebook.
AMA Style
AMA Style grew out of medical and scientific publishing. For article titles, AMA typically uses a title-style approach that emphasizes major words and de-emphasizes short function words in the middle. You choose AMA when you write for clinical, research, or health-focused audiences and want your titles to blend in with journals and medical literature. You can learn more in the AMA Manual of Style.
APA Style
APA Style uses sentence case for article and chapter titles. You capitalize only the first word of the title, the first word after a colon or em dash, and any proper noun. You rely on APA when you write in psychology, education, or the social sciences and need your references and headings to follow the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. See the APA Style site for full guidance.
Bluebook Style
Bluebook Style governs legal citations and case names. For titles, it follows a title-style pattern that highlights key words while keeping short connecting words lowercase in the middle. You use Bluebook-style capitalization when you work with law reviews, briefs, and legal documents and want titles that feel at home in legal writing. For more detail, consult The Bluebook.
Chicago Style
Chicago Style, from The Chicago Manual of Style, uses a classic title case approach. You capitalize nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and some conjunctions, while leaving short prepositions and articles lowercase in the middle. You use Chicago when you write books, essays, and long-form content and want your titles to follow a widely respected publishing standard. You can explore the details on the Chicago Manual of Style website.
MLA Style
MLA Style, common in the humanities, looks very similar to Chicago for title capitalization. You capitalize principal words and keep short function words lowercase, with some discipline-specific nuances. You choose MLA when you write literary analysis, research papers, or essays in language and literature and want your headings and works-cited entries to feel familiar to academic readers. See the MLA Style Center for official recommendations.
NY Times Style
NY Times Style leans into bold, aggressive capitalization. You capitalize nearly every word in the title except for a small set of function words, even if they are short. You reach for this style when you want your headlines to mimic front-page news aesthetics and grab attention in a crowded feed or homepage. You can browse real-world examples on The New York Times.
Wikipedia Style
Wikipedia Style prefers sentence case for article titles. You capitalize the first word and proper nouns, and you keep the rest in lowercase. This choice keeps titles readable, neutral, and easy to scan across millions of pages. You use a Wikipedia-like approach when you value consistency and clarity across a large collection of reference-style content. For more, see Wikipedia’s article title guidelines.
