A font is a complete collection of letters, characters, and numbers within a particular typestyle. Letters, numbers, and symbols in consistent type-weight and typestyle make up a complete set (type family) of a distinctive design of printing type such as Ariel, Helvetica, Times Roman and thousands of others. Most typefaces are available in different typestyles (roman, italic, bold, extra bold, condensed, etc.) and are chosen for a particular piece of text on the basis of (1) legibility, (2) readability, (3) appropriateness for the audience and the message, (4) reproducibility, and (5) practicality. Insider Tip: Only use comic sans when…what am I saying? Never use comic sans—EVER!

A typeface consists of the full range of characters that make up an entire font family. Yes, even fonts have families. And they all have that one crazy uncle, too.

Typography is the art form of designing with type. And, no, it has nothing to do with all the errors you make when you type.
