Is capital letter and block letter the same?

Answer 1

Capital letters and block letters are not the same. Capital letters refer to uppercase letters of the alphabet, while block letters refer to a specific style of writing where the letters are formed by straight lines and angles, often resembling printed text. While capital letters can be written in block letter form, not all block letters are necessarily in capital form.

Answer 2

No, capital letters are otherwise known as upper case (LIKE SO), and block lettering refers to letters that aren't cursive, i.e. not joined up handwriting.

Please note that block lettering can be upper case, but uppercase does not necessarily have to be block lettering.

Answer 3

Yes, capital letters and block letters are similar in that both refer to uppercase letters. However, block letters specifically refer to a style of uppercase lettering characterized by their rectangular shape and uniform stroke width.
