DEFINITION OF TEXT
Text is any object that can be "read",
whether this object is a work of
literature, a street sign, an arrangement of buildings on a
city block, or styles of clothing.
It is a coherent set of signs that
transmits some kind of informative
message.This set of symbols is
considered in terms of the informative
message's content, rather than in
terms of its physical form or the
medium in which it is represented.

EXAMPLE OF TEXT

FONT
A design for a set of characters including typeface, size, pitch,
and spacing. A collection of characters of a single
size and style belonging to a particular typeface family.
There is some basic consistency of
look that makes the individual characters,
regardless of size and style variations, part of the same family.

EXAMPLE OF FONT

FONT SIZE
The size of a font, typically represented in points (pt).
72 points equal to 1 inch.
The font size is the distance from the top of the capital letters to
the bottom of the "descenders" in letters such as "g" and "y.“

WORKING WITH TEXT
Text should be kept to a minimum unless
the application includes a great deal of reference material.
Reading volumes of text on a computer
screen is difficult and tiring.
From a design standpoint, text should fill less
than half the screen
