Typeface vs. Font

[edit]

A typeface is "a set of letters, numbers, or other symbolic characters, whose forms are related by repeating design elements consistently applied in a notational system and are intended to be embodied in articles whose intrinsic utilitarian function is for use in composing text or other cognizable combinations of characters."[1] On the other hand, a font, is "an article in which a typeface resides as the implement of printing technology, regardless of the medium or form."[1]
