- A typeface is a set of one or more fonts each composed of glyphs that share common design features. Each font of a typeface has a specific weight, style, condensation, width, slant, italicization, ornamentation, and designer or foundry
- The four essential characteristics of typefaces are: Proportional, Non-Proportional, Serif, and Sans-Serif..
- Oblique v. Italic - Italics are an angled typeface that has different design characteristics from its upright, roman companion. They are most often a separate yet complementary design, with unique features and frequently different character widths. Many italics have a somewhat calligraphic appearance, especially those that are designed for a serif typeface. Obliques, on the other hand, are simply slanted versions of their roman companion with no major design differences, other than their angle. They are most often found in sans serif typeface families, although not all sans serifs have obliques as opposed to italics, as noted above.
