Changing font of the titlepage of tufte-book
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:

Is there anyone who knows how to do it?
Thanks

Can you please add a simple example of how you're producing the title page? Having some code to play with is better.

I modified the question and added the code + output. I removed the graphics (titleimage) for the sake of clarity.

To redesign the title page, just redefine the maketitlepage macro:
renewcommand{maketitlepage}{%
cleardoublepage
{%
sffamily
begin{fullwidth}%
fontsize{18}{20}selectfontparnoindenttextcolor{darkgray}{thanklessauthor}%
vspace{11.5pc}%
fontsize{36}{40}selectfontparnoindenttextcolor{darkgray}{thanklesstitle}%
vfill
fontsize{14}{16}selectfontparnoindentthanklesspublisher%
end{fullwidth}%
}%
thispagestyle{empty}%
clearpage
}
Here I've removed the original allcaps formatting.
For this to work I needed to convince LaTeX to let me redefine the macro. I addedletmaketitlepagerelaxright before thenewcommand.

The tufte-book class sets the title and the author using allcaps. You can just letallcaps=relax for the titlepage.
documentclass{tufte-book}
title[Sample title]{%
Sample%
parnoindent
Title
}
author{Author name here}
begin{document}
{
letallcaps=relax
maketitle
}
end{document}
