The experts defined the terminology, it’s just you purely digital people that forgot the original terminology.

There’s actually a history to the change in terminology, and it’s mostly because of Steve Jobs and the Apple Macintosh. They were largely focused on bringing many character styles over to their new-at-the-time system, and apparently thought it would save pixel space on their limited size 512 pixel wide menu if they just called ‘Typeface’ as simply ‘Font’

Language works by majority consent though.
