tipografía
typography, typeface
noun tee-poh-grah-FEE-ah Rare
Origin: From Greek typos (impression) + graphia (writing).

print shop
Usage Note
Tipografía covers both the art and study of arranging type (la tipografía de un libro) and, historically, a printing shop. In design and digital contexts it is used exactly as English 'typography' — font choice, spacing, layout. The adjective tipográfico (typographic) and the person tipógrafo (typographer/printer) share the same root.
Examples
"La tipografía del cartel es difícil de leer."
Natural Translation
The typography of the poster is hard to read.
