HOW TO USE VERSAL IN A SENTENCE
The dip in cases of this kind has been described as “qua-qua versal” or “periclinal.”
ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA, 11TH EDITION, VOLUME 10, SLICE 5|VARIOUS

I conceive mining to be the noblest business in the ‘versal world.’
WILD WALES|GEORGE BORROW

A stiff Versal of a rather Roman type is used, partly because of the number of the capitals (see p. 126).
WRITING & ILLUMINATING, & LETTERING|EDWARD JOHNSTON

Now YOU come up with a sentence (or fic? or graphic?) that best illustrates the word.
