But small caps are too regularly aligned for a telegram. Why not use an actual telegram font? For example:

Well, if were to embed a font, I'd be back in the same situation. I'd have to read with my Forma set to Publishers Default instead of to Georgia. Otherwise, I don't think the telegram font would even show up. The device would override it.
