PostScript font

A PostScript font is a type of digital font used in printing and graphic design that relies on a programming language called PostScript. Unlike bitmap fonts, which store images of each character, PostScript fonts describe how each letter should be drawn mathematically, allowing for high-quality, scalable text that remains sharp at any size. This technology ensures precise rendering on professional printers and is widely used in publishing and desktop publishing for consistent, high-resolution text output. In essence, PostScript fonts combine programming and design to produce crisp, scalable type for various visual media.
