Sets of letters and symbols in a particular style and size used for printing or displaying text.
From Old French 'fonte' meaning 'a casting' or 'something poured,' from Latin 'fundere' meaning 'to pour.' The term evolved to refer to a complete set of cast metal type in a single size and style, and now applies to digital typefaces.
Before computers, printers had to physically own separate collections of metal letters in each font, making them incredibly expensive investments! A single 'font' could weigh hundreds of pounds and take up entire drawers in a print shop.
