noun

Etymology: From type + face.

  1. The particular design of some type, font, or a font family.

    “(Technically Aptos and Calibri are typefaces, while a “font” refers to a particular face or size, like italics or boldface. But in practice, “font” is often used as a synonym for “typeface,” including by Microsoft employees interviewed for this article.)”

  2. The surface of type which inked, or the impression it makes.
