Georgia perhaps is kind and brave (8)

I believe the answer is:

typeface

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

'georgia' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'is kind and brave' is the wordplay.
'is kind' becomes 'type' (I've seen this before).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'brave' becomes 'face' (I've seen this in other clues).
'type'+'face'='TYPEFACE'

'perhaps' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for typeface that I've seen before include "Style of font" , "Style of print" , "Courier, perhaps" , "characters in print" , "Style of printing surface" .)
