In this thread, we post every day about ρrémíùm and expensive typefaces, also known as type families or simply fonts, and give them away free of charge—yes, you read that right. We’re amazed at the number and quality of fonts, both free and otherwise, already available online today. Designers have an incredible selection of font choices to choose from. Why is it important to distinguish between the words typeface and font? Well, here is a snippet of an article from Adobe to show you the difference:
“A font is a complete set of characters—letters, numbers, and symbols—that share a common weight, width, and style, such as 10‑pt Adobe Garamond Bold. Typefaces (often called type families or font families) are collections of fonts that share an overall appearance, and are designed to be used together, such as Adobe Garamond.

“A type style is a variant version of an individual font in a font family. Typically, the Roman or Plain (the actual name varies from family to family) member of a font family is the base font, which may include type styles such as regular, bold, semibold, italic, and bold italic.” (“Using fonts in InCopy, 2021”)
It’s up to you to pick the right font that will speak in the language of the target audience, as the most effective font choices translate the purpose of the design. So whether you’re looking for a serif, script or sans-serif letterform, the Typeface of the Day (TOTD) thread has you covered! Feel free to share here your own copy of a ρrémíùm typeface you purchased.
