[Tex/LaTex] Changing font of the titlepage of tufte-book

tufte

I would like to change the font and the style used in the titlepage of tufte-book class.

I don't like the 'all caps' style and would rather have normal text in that page.

By reading the documentation I have found only the commands for changing fonts in other elements, such as captions, but not in the title page. In the attempts I made I was able to modify the style of the title, but other elements (like the author name) stay all caps.

This is the basic code I am using:

\title[Sample title]{%
    \setlength{\parindent}{0pt}%
    Sample \par% 
    Title \par \vspace{1cm}
    }
%   \usebox{\titleimage}}


\author{Author name here}

which produces this page:

enter image description here

Is there anyone who knows how to do it?

Thanks

To redesign the title page, just redefine the \maketitlepage macro:

\renewcommand{\maketitlepage}{%
  \cleardoublepage
  {%
  \sffamily
  \begin{fullwidth}%
  \fontsize{18}{20}\selectfont\par\noindent\textcolor{darkgray}{\thanklessauthor}%
  \vspace{11.5pc}%
  \fontsize{36}{40}\selectfont\par\noindent\textcolor{darkgray}{\thanklesstitle}%
  \vfill
  \fontsize{14}{16}\selectfont\par\noindent\thanklesspublisher%
  \end{fullwidth}%
  }%
  \thispagestyle{empty}%
  \clearpage
}

Here I've removed the original \allcaps formatting.
