TypefaceA typeface is a design of letters, numbers and other symbols, to be used in printing or for electronic display. Most typefaces include variations in size (e.g., 24 point), weight (e.g., light, bold), slope (e.g., italic), width (e.g., condensed), and so on. Each of these variations of the typeface is a font. There are thousands of different typefaces in existence, with new ones being developed constantly. The profession of designing typefaces is called type design.
GraphemeSmallest functional written unit Various glyphs representing instances of the lower case letter ⟨a⟩, considered to be allographs of the same grapheme In linguistics, a grapheme is the smallest functional unit of a writing system. The word grapheme is derived from Ancient Greek's gráphō ('write'), and the suffix -eme (by analogy with phoneme and other emic units). The study of graphemes is called graphemics.

Computer fontA computer font or digital font is a digital data file containing a set of graphically related glyphs, usually designed and created using a font editor. Such a font specifically designed for the computer screen, and not for printing, is termed a screen font.
GlyphPurposeful written mark Various glyphs representing lower case letter ⟨a⟩ in various typefaces and as single- and double-storey; they are allographs of the same grapheme A glyph (/ɡlɪf/ GLIF) is any kind of purposeful mark. In typography, a glyph is "the specific shape, design, or representation of a character". It is a particular graphical representation, in a particular typeface (or computer font), of an element of written language.
Numerical digitA numerical digit (often shortened to just digit) is a single symbol used to represent numbers in positional notation, such as 0, 1, ..., 9 in the common base 10. The name "digit" originates from the Latindigiti, meaning fingers. Digits may be used alone (such as "1") or in combinations (such as in "15") to form a numeral. For any numeral system with an integer base, the number of different digits required is the absolute value of the base.
TypographyTypography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written languagelegible and readable when displayed. The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point sizes, line lengths, line spacing, letter spacing, and spaces between pairs of letters. The term typography is also applied to the style, arrangement, and appearance of the letters, numbers, and symbols created by the process.
Hyphen-minusThe symbol -, known in Unicode as hyphen-minus, is the form of hyphen most commonly used in digital documents. On most keyboards, it is the only character that resembles a minus sign or a dash, so it is also used for these. The name hyphen-minus derives from the original ASCII standard, where it was called hyphen (minus). The character is referred to as a hyphen, a minus sign, or a dash according to the context where it is being used.
HyphenThe hyphen‐ is a punctuation mark used to join words and to separate syllables of a single word. The use of hyphens is called hyphenation. The hyphen is sometimes confused with dashes (en dash–, em dash— and others), which are wider, or with the minus sign−, which is also wider and usually drawn a little higher to match the crossbar in the plus sign+. As an orthographic concept, the hyphen is a single entity.OrthographyAn orthography is a set of conventions for writing a language, including norms of spelling, punctuation, word boundaries, capitalization, hyphenation, and emphasis. Most national and international languages have an established writing system that has undergone substantial standardization, thus exhibiting less dialect variation than the spoken language.
DashLong horizontal line punctuation markIn UnicodeU+2012 ‒FIGURE DASHU+2013 –EN DASHU+2014 —EM DASHU+2015 ―HORIZONTAL BARThe dash is a punctuation mark consisting of a long horizontal line. It is similar in appearance to the hyphen but is longer and sometimes higher from the baseline.Plus and minus signsThe plus sign (+) and the minus sign (−) are mathematical symbols used to denote positive and negative functions, respectively. In addition, the symbol + represents the operation of addition, which results in a sum, while the symbol − represents subtraction, resulting in a difference. Their use has been extended to many other meanings, more or less analogous. Plus and minus are Latin terms meaning 'more' and 'less', respectively.
