[typography] - a copied comment from Font or Typeface?:

The correct hierarchy of typographic termi­nology, as I learned it, is broken down into the four Fs.

FOUNDRY: The designer and/or manufac­turer of sets of type. Berthold Direct Corpo­ration is a type foundry.

FAMILY: Related typefaces from the same foundry. Berthold Garamond is a type family.

FACE: The style of the type (regular, medium, bold, etc.). Berthold Garamond regular is one typeface while Berthold Garamond italic is a different typeface.

FONT: A typeface at a specific size. Berthold Garamond italic, 10 point is one font while Berthold Garamond italic, 12 point is a different font.
