You cannot directly create an instance of this class in XAML.
The Typography object exposes the set of features that an OpenType font supports. By setting the properties of Typography in markup or code, you can easily author documents that take advantage of OpenType features.
The following text displays standard capital letters for the Pescadero font, followed by the letters styled as "SmallCaps" and "AllSmallCaps". In this case, the same font size is used for all three words.
Text using OpenType capitals

The following markup example shows how to define capitals for the Pescadero font, using properties of the Typography object. When the "SmallCaps" format is used, any leading capital letter is ignored.
<Paragraph FontFamily="Pescadero" FontSize="48">
<Run>CAPITALS</Run>
<Run Typography.Capitals="SmallCaps">Capitals</Run>
<Run Typography.Capitals="AllSmallCaps">Capitals</Run>
</Paragraph>
The following code example accomplishes the same task as the previous markup example.
MyParagraph.FontFamily = new FontFamily("Pescadero");
MyParagraph.FontSize = 48;
Run run_1 = new Run("CAPITALS ");
MyParagraph.Inlines.Add(run_1);
Run run_2 = new Run("Capitals ");
run_2.Typography.Capitals = FontCapitals.SmallCaps;
MyParagraph.Inlines.Add(run_2);
Run run_3 = new Run("Capitals");
run_3.Typography.Capitals = FontCapitals.AllSmallCaps;
MyParagraph.Inlines.Add(run_3);
MyParagraph.Inlines.Add(new LineBreak());
