Alfred's Serif Users' Forums → Art & Literature → Smaller type used for captions of pictures within articles
I know that using smaller type for captions within articles is a widespread practice.
I find it unhelpful and that it makes reading the captions difficult.
What is your opinion on this please?

I hadn't noticed that a significantly smaller type was that common. When I produced a magazine, I generally used italic type of the same size as the body text for captions. Either that, or using a sans-serif font (when the body text is a serif font) seems to be usual, although it does seem that the latter is often a little smaller, but emboldened (as in Geographical). The important thing is for the captions to be readily distinguishable from the body text.
