Typeface
A typeface is a complete set of characters, such as letters, numbers, and symbols, that share a unified design and style, used in printing, typography, and digital media to present text visually. Beyond just aesthetics, it influences readability and emotional impact in everything from books to websites, with modern applications in branding where choices like sans-serif typefaces convey simplicity and approachability.
