Font
A font is a set of printable or displayable text characters in a specific style
and size.
Also known as typeface (in typography field)
Classification and choice of font usually based on:
Proportion
Serifs
Shape
Weight
‘new creation’, with technology
Proportion
Monospaced (fixed-width): Each letter occupies the same
amount of horizontal space, so the text looks as if
it is typed on a typewriter. Eg: Courier.
Proportional font: each letter occupies an amount of horizontal space
proportional to width of the character, so the text looks as if it was
printed in a book. Eg: Times New Roman.

Serifs
Serifs: The little stroke added to the ends of character shapes.
Eg Book Antiqua, Lucida
Sans-Serifs: The text without the stroke feature at the end of
characters eg: Arial
Shape
Upright shape: The letters of an Italic font slope to the right, which
imitate certain types of handwriting. It is conventionally used for
emphasis and for identifying foreign words and expressions.
Slanted shape: It share the rightward slope of italic fonts, but
lack their calligraphic quality. Eg: Lucida Bright in italic.

Weight
Bold: Font with bold features. The thickness of the stroke
making up the letters.
