The three ways to determine the category of a typeface are by examining its classification, characteristics, and historical context. Classification refers to broad categories like serif, sans-serif, script, or display. Characteristics involve analyzing specific features such as stroke contrast, x-height, and letter form. Historical context considers the typeface's origin and the design trends of the period in which it was created.
Typeface is the design of a set of characters, such as Courier, Helvetica and Times Roman. Typeface and font are used interchangeably; however, the typeface is the primary design and the font is the implementation and variation of the typeface, such as bold, italics, etc.
