Font (8)
I believe the answer is:
typeface
'font' is the definition.
(I know that font can be written as typeface)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for typeface that I've seen before include "Designed range of printed lettering" , "Style of print" , "Specific design and size for printing letters, numbers and characters" , "Baskerville, perhaps" , "Particular font" .)
