- paulddraper 8y agoTraditionally, font is just the shape of the characters (size, weight, italics). Other things (alignment, underline, wrap, color). This is because "fonts" were originally physical typesetting blocks. Some designers go further and say font refers only to the files and file formats; other things are the "typeface".
- einr 8y agoI believe the traditional usage is something like this: Helvetica is a typeface, Helvetica Bold Italic is a font.
- taejo 8y agoAlmost: Helvetica is a typeface family, Helvetica Bold Italic is a typeface, Helvetica Bold Italic 10pt is a font (or rather, the font is a case full of bits of metal with Helvetica Bold Italic 10pt)
- dcbadacd 8y agoYeah, but fonts being recolored is a different thing than fonts having a color. https://www.colorfonts.wtf/ https://www.colorfonts.wtf/
