Typefaces are designs. Fonts are computer files, cast lead, whatever, that implement those designs. At least that’s what this particular screed would have you try and remember.
I can’t throw stones here, since I have pet peeves like that myself.

Yes, My Step-Fathers family had (and one part of it still does) a Printing company in St. Joe. Font vs. Typeface was always a thing with him too. He use to tell stories about setting the type and doing that in the summers is what made him so good at spelling and proof reading.
The funny stories were about when *some* guy would drop a tray of set type and having to do the job over again.
That’s a lower-tech version of the “dropping a bin full of punch cards” (a/k/a Hollerith cards) tales of yore …
