Word origin
The word 'font' originated from the Middle French word 'fonte', meaning 'something melted or cast'. It was first used in English in the late 16th century to refer to a complete assortment of type of one face and size. Over time, with the development of printing and computing technologies, the term 'font' evolved to encompass a wider range of meanings related to text styles and characters.
