Typeface refers to a set of characters that share the same style and features, such as Times New Roman. Font specifies a typeface with a certain size and style, like Bold Times New Roman size 12. Uppercase letters are larger and used for titles, sentences, and emphasis while lowercase letters are smaller for regular text. Other typographic elements include numerals, glyphs (graphic symbols), point size (text size), leading (line spacing), alignment (left, right, center, justified), kerning (letter spacing), tracking (word spacing), and dingbats (decorative characters).

1. Describing type
Typeface is a set of characters (letters, numbers etc.) written in the same style and with the
same features e.g. Times New Roman
Font is the specific type of typeface that has certain size and style, e.g. Bold Times New
Roman, size 12.
Upper case is typeface that has larger characters e.g. ABC. They are used at the start of each
sentence, for titles and through the text to make the important information stand out.
Lower case is typeface that has smaller characters e.g. abc. They are used through the text or to
write less important information.
Numerals characters that represent numbers, the can be either Hindu-Arabic Numerals or Roman
Numerals: 1234 or I II III IV
Glyph is a graphic symbol that makes up the presence or form of a character. It can be alphabetic,
numeric or be another kind of symbol. Commonly used glyphs are: ?, !, &,*, @.
Point size is the size of the distance between the highest ascender and the bottom of a descender
in type, it defines the size of the used typeface.
Leading is the vertical space between lines of text and is measured from the baseline
.
Alignment styles define where the text is placed the types of alignment are: Left, Right, Centre
and Justified.
Kerning is the horizontal space between two letters that defines how close to each other the
letters are.

2. Tracking adjusts the spacing between letters through the entire word and can be used to change
the spacing equally between every letter at once.
Dingbats are decorative, weird, different styles of typefaces which is basically typing images e.g.
Wingdings typeface.
