Typefaces

A typeface is a set of one or more fonts, in one or more sizes, designed with stylistic unity. They can be made up of letters, numbers, and other symbols. This is a sign for a New York subway entrance. The first font is a large normal font stating which subway your are entering. Then to help people out, the sign has numbers and letters in different colored circles showing what stops the subway makes. At the very bottom is random information that passengers need to know on this subway but in a smaller font. This is a typeface because of all the different symbols, letter fonts and number used to help people know which subway they are at. They do all of this in an aesthetic design.
