I don't understand your argument, are you saying that removing capital letters would improve legibility? Note that as far as I know during the antiquity there was no semantic meaning associated with font case, you could use full caps in some settings and full lowercase in others. The image in your linked wikipedia article uses full uppercase for instance. At any rate it's not at all obvious to me that removing case would improve things. I'm currently reading a book my Valter Hugo Mãe who's an author who (generally) only uses lowercase letters: https://svkt.org/~simias/up/20210402-153754_maquina.jpeg https://svkt.org/~simias/up/20210402-153754_maquina.jpeg I've also got a Latin grammar book that, for extra authenticity, only uses uppercase at the beginning of the paragraphs: https://svkt.org/~simias/up/20210402-154010_latin.jpeg https://svkt.org/~simias/up/20210402-154010_latin.jpeg In both cases I often find myself missing the end of a sentence, I think mainly because ',' and '.' are easy to mix up but normally you expect '.' to be followed by an uppercase. Of course part of the issue might just be lack of familiarity. I'm not arguing that capitals are vital and we couldn't read and write correctly without them, but as you point out we could say the same of spaces and general punctuation. I can read unaccented French just fine for example, but it does force me to slow down at times and to infer more from context. butanywaythatsjustmyopinion
