Grimace or draw a type font (4,1,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pull a face

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

'grimace' is the definition.
(I know that grimace can be written as pull a face)

'draw a type font' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'draw' could be 'pull' (synonyms) and 'pull' is found within the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
'type' could be 'face' (face is a kind of type) and 'face' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for pull a face that I've seen is " Grimace".)
