How it's used
Refers specifically to the visual design or style of characters rather than the individual characters themselves. It is frequently used in digital contexts when discussing word processing, graphic design, or web development. While technically referring to the design, it is often used interchangeably with the concept of a digital font file.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 字, which refers to a single character or word. Remember that 字體 describes the aesthetic style or typeface, not the character unit itself.
