Font vs. Typeface


the physical embodiment of a collection of letters, numbers, symbols, etc. (whether its a case of metal pieces or a computer file) is a font. When referring to the design of the collection (the way it looks) you call it a typeface. The way I relate the difference between typeface and font to my students is by comparing them to songs and MP3s, respectively (or songs and CDs).

font is what you use, typeface is what you see.
