This is an essential term, as many other
words derive from it. In the context of calligraphy, a type is each of the
individual pieces that form a letter, print signs or the types on a
typewriter. This is the minimal unit in
printing technology, and in the digital era, where the typewriter is slowly
vanishing, this term is reserved for a classification where it can compete with
the terms letter and character. Nevertheless, it is best no to confuse them; as
seen on the definitions, there are subtle differences among the three concepts.
