A font can mean:

  1. A typeface, especially an electronic typeface; or
  2. An item of church furniture or architecture, used as a container for holy water, and used in blessings and baptisms. A large font is typically found in a baptistery, an area in the church set aside for baptisms. A smaller font set by the entrance of a Roman Catholic church for worshippers to bless themselves upon entering is sometimes called a stoup.
