A font consists of three elements—typeface, type size, and typestyle.

A typeface is a set of characters with a common design and shape. A monospaced typeface allots the same amount of horizontal space for each character; a proportional typeface allots a varying amount of space for each character and is divided into two main categories: serif and sans serif.

Type size is generally set in proportional size. The size of proportional type is measured vertically in units called points.

Typestyles are divided into four main categories: regular, bold, italic, and bold italic.
