Hi DieBuche,

This is intended as feedback, and not meant to criticize, as I am no expert in this field. I am not that experienced with font subtypes, but, as I understand it, 'small caps' is a font subtype that ONLY uses the majuscule form of the character, with different character heights to designate (functional) capitalization.

Your .svg only demonstrates this in the headings of each example text, whereas (if I understand correctly), if the entire paragraph of text were to be typed using a 'small caps' font, it would have no minuscule character forms. This may be intentional, but there is no descriptor stating that only the heading is in 'small caps' font, and, thus, is confusing to those unfamiliar with fonts, like me.

I will leave the decision to edit the svg up to you.
