Font

In metal typesetting, a font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font was a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consisting of a range of fonts that shared an overall design.

In modern usage, with the advent of digital typography, "font" is frequently synonymous with "typeface", although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file"—for instance, the typeface "Bulmer" may include the fonts "Bulmer roman", "Bulmer italic", "Bulmer bold" and "Bulmer extended"—but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.

Etymology

The word font (traditionally spelled fount in British English, but in any case pronounced /fɒnt/) derives from Middle French fonte "[something that has been] melted; a casting". The term refers to the process of casting metal type at a type foundry.

    I'm that loud, hard [thumping sound] that killed the mosquito
    I'm the motherfuckin red ant draggin the bettle
    Nigga remember me when you was shootin up? I was that needle
    When you coughin, I'm that (cough) that comes from your chest
    When you dead, I'm the maggots that's eatin your flesh
    I'm every last sad note from the violin
    I'm the hammer that hit that firing pin
    I was the voice in your head that was tellin you not to try it again
    Now I'm the carbon dioxide that replace your oxygen
