I believe the answer is:

typeface

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'every word here displays' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'class profile' is the wordplay.
'class' becomes 'type' (both can mean a variety or kind).
'profile' becomes 'face' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'type'+'face'='TYPEFACE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for typeface that I've seen before include "Style of printing surface" , "Courier, perhaps" , "Design of font" , "Specific design and size for printing letters, numbers and characters" , "Particular font" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
