==Typeface family== A '''typeface family''' (or '''type family''') is a set of typefaces that share a common design concept.<ref name="Haley">{{cite web |title=About Typeface Families |website=fonts.com |first=Allan |last=Haley |date=10 August 2012 |publisher=Monotype Imaging Inc |url=https://cmscdn.fonts.com/documents/e57ab64289c95dda/Fontology_AboutTypefaceFamilies.pdf}}</ref> The simplest typeface family has just a 'regular' face and an 'oblique' face (or 'Roman' and 'Italic'); the next step up adds [[boldface]] versions of these types. A modern professional typeface family (such as Danish Standard no. 737) might have as many as 54 different styles:<ref>{{cite web |title=DS 737: Shortlist / Type Design & Lettering / Typeface Family / 2023 |website=D&AD |url=https://www.dandad.org/awards/professional/2023/237262/ds737/ }}</ref> [[Font#Width|condensed]], normal and [[Font#Width|expanded]] forms of each of 'thin', 'extralight', 'light', 'regular', 'medium', 'demibold', 'bold', 'extrabold' and 'heavy' types, in regular and italic.
