Commoncase, I miss you.
A popular trend in the 80s, "commoncase" is the use of mixed capital and lowercase letterforms in the same font.
I've always liked this, and I can't really say why. Evidently it's unheard of now... Google and Wikipedia searches came up with nothing. Typography is all but dead now anyway, so I guess this is just another casualty. Somebody at Just Brakes knows what's going on, though.

Ick. I enjoy typography, and love when it's used in an innovative way. But commoncase is a fad I'm glad didn't stick around.
When I was a kid I saw something like that once and started printing that way.
Any (lower case) letter that would stick up or down - I would print with a capital instead.
