Please don’t post the same question in more than one place. Thank you. I have deleted the other thread.

Have you consulted the Wiki? Typography vs. Lettering. The former deals with the reproduction of pre-made letterforms, mainly as in type-setting with fonts (regardless whether those are in metal, film or digital form). It also comprises the use of a typewriter, rub-down letters, stencils or potato stamps, for example.

For your second question, see Yves’ article on The FontFeed, Font or Typeface?
