Typeface
In
typography, a typeface is a coordinated set of
glyphs designed with stylistic unity. A typeface usually comprises an
alphabet of letters,
numerals, and
punctuation marks; it may also include
ideograms and
symbols, or consist entirely of them, for example,
mathematical or
map-making symbols. The term typeface is typically conflated with
font, which had distinct meanings before the advent of
desktop publishing. These terms are now effectively synonymous when discussing digital typography. One still valid distinction between font and typeface is that a font may designate a specific member of a type family such as Roman, bold or
italic type, possibly in a particular size, while typeface designates a visual appearance or style, possibly of a related set of fonts. For example, a given typeface such as
Arial may include Roman, bold, and italic fonts.
