I am working on a redesigning . I am looking to use capital letters for section headers. Do you think this will be a good approach from UX point of view ?
Thanks

The legibility decreases when using only caps (because the word has no defining shape anymore, it's more of a horizontal bar). Since legibility affects the time it takes to scan words, it does have a (small) impact on usability. However, all-caps can(!) look really stylish and if your users pay a lot of attention to style, this might just improve their experience on your site.
Personally I find Small Cap headings (first letter larger than the rest) more readable among all capital heading.
