Typeface - Typographers often use the term typeface to denote the basic design of glyphs, reserving the word "font" for particular implementations and variants. For example, the Times typeface is available as normal (regular), as bold, as italic and bold italic, as well as in different sizes.  Variants of a typeface in different sizes may differ in their details - i.e., they are not just formed form a basic size by simple scaling.
