Question

select the correct answer.
what is a typeface?
a. a family of fonts in a certain style
b. the spacing between individual letters
c. the tapered feature at the end of strokes
d. the logo and tagline that represent a company
e. the spacing between lines in a paragraph

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A typeface is indeed a family of fonts with a consistent style (e.g., Times New Roman is a typeface with different font weights, styles like italic).
• Option B: Spacing between individual letters is "kerning", not a typeface.
• Option C: The tapered feature at the end of strokes is "serif", a part of some typefaces, not the definition of a typeface.
• Option D: A logo and tagline representing a company is "branding", not related to typeface.
• Option E: Spacing between lines in a paragraph is "leading", not a typeface.

So the correct definition of a typeface matches Option A.

Answer:

A. a family of fonts in a certain style
