Actually, it is "typeface." "Font" actually refers to size and is correctly used as "font size". Unfortunately, the press and too many others got it wrong and thought that "font" referred to the typeface (think "hacker" vs. "cracker"). Professional typesetters cringe at this usage every time they hear it, but when your customer asks for "X font", you don't correct him, you just smile, say "sure", and let the money roll in.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:-)
I gotta agree, though, that this typeface is rather attractive.
