A glyph is a shape in a font that is used to represent a character code on screen - or on paper, if printed. One common example of a glyph is an actual letter. The symbols and shapes in other typefaces such as Zapf Dingbats are also glyphs, though. Letters are actually only shapes, but we see them as letters because that's how we associate them.

What was the design process for the typeface Myriad Pro?
In 1992, Myriad had a whole design team that which initially included Fred Brady, Robert Slimbach, Sumner Stone, and Carol Twombly from Adobe. These folks examined sxisting sans serif designs and made preliminary pencil drawings, computer sketches, and a variety of test fonts to determine which direction to design Myriad. A collaborative approach ensured that the Myriad family maintained a clear, objective quality, without idiosyncrasies that might be introduced had only one designer worked on designing the font. Drawing, digitization, and design work was split between Robert Slimbach and Carol Twombly. It was completed in two years. Each designer was responsibly for different designs in the roman and italic fonts; then they exchanged work during final production stages to unify the Myriad family. As the project progessed, Fred Brady, Robert Slimbach, and Carol Twombly met for weekly discussions, examinations, and evaluations for Myriad as it evolved through the design process. In the later stages of design development, members of the Adobe Type Advisory board reviewed Myriad. For the additional glyphs in the typeface Myriad Pro, work was also divided up among a small group that included Fred Brady, Christopher Slye, Robert Slimbach, and Carol Twombly. Greek and Cyrillic characters were then added to the family as well as a bunch of Latin glyphs and accented characters.

In ACB, there are 10 glyphs. The glyphs are positioned on 10 random buildings in Roma, and are marked with a red eyeball logo in the database. You can only see Glyphs using EAGLE VISION, and when you find them you climb into them to activate them. Once you enter a Glyph you will be asked a series of puzzles - stupid and often complex ones - go on youtube for answers if you need to. When you have "solved" all 10 Glyphs, Subject 16 appears to you in a interactive message to explain what's going on. It only creates more questions really tbh.
