Outline
An open typeface structural style in which strokes and shapes are represented by unfilled outlines. Formerly, type or font character glyphs either existed as solid "inline" letterforms, or as unfilled "outline" letterforms. With modern font technology, letterform shapes are described by resolution-independent outlines; and these outlines can be filled by paint or halftone, or outlined by adjustable lines. Because of this capability, very few modern fonts are available in outline styles. See reverse, cameo, knockout, cutout; compare silhouette, drop out.
