Typography
Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable and appealing when displayed.
Font
A font is a typeface variation of a certain size and style. Each typeface may have numerous fonts that often differ in weight, slant, italicization, and other criteria.
Gilroy is a well-known typeface, while 12pt Gilroy Bold and 14 pt Gilroy Light are its fonts.
Font size
Font size is the height of a typeface that equals the distance between the baseline and the mean line of lower-case letters. Designers usually use points (8, 10, 12, etc.) to measure the font size.
Font weight
The font weight refers to the thickness of a stroke on a given typeface. Fonts range from thin (also called hairline or light) to black (heavy), with a lot of weights in between. The most commonly seen weights, though, are bold and regular.
Font weight
The body text or body copy is the main text forming the content of any book, magazine, web page, or any other printed or digital work. In contrast to body text, there are other text components like headings or footnotes on each page.
Headings
Headings are generally the most prominent text component on a page of a book, magazine, website, or an app. They should be sized noticeably larger than other types on the page, particularly body text. Headings provide users the most important information they need for better navigation on a given page.
Lorem ipsum
Lorem ipsum is a combination of modified Latin words with no meaning that serves as placeholder text. Generally, it's a short-term fix before designers replace it with the actual copy. Such dummy text is remarkably useful in the early stages of wireframing for entry-level planning and brainstorming ideas.
Text block
A piece of text unit separated from other content using paragraphs, block quotes, or other dividers on a web page is called a text block. The name "block" comes from the shape of a square or rectangle the text usually takes on.
