• Allograph — Executed, written, or signed by a person other than the legal author or official holder of a document. In linguistics and typography, it represents a positional or stylistic variant of a grapheme's realization (for instance, uppercase versus lowercase letters, or distinct shapes of the same letter in handwriting) without altering the basic phonetic or semantic value of the character.
• Rotogravure — A high-quality printing process or engraving technique (rotogravure / photogravure) in which the printing elements are incised or etched below the surface of a copper plate or cylinder; an artistic or typographic work obtained through this process.
• Analogy index — A specialized technical term designating a table of correspondences, a systematic catalog, or an index of analogies used for the rapid correlation of similar data, graphic signs, codes, or typographical characters. In an archaic or niche sense, it can also refer to a mechanical tool or device used for calculating proportional ratios or for reproducing models or technical drawings on an analog scale.
• Anastatic — Relating to anastasis or obtained through anastatic processes; describing an archaic method of printing or faithfully reproducing texts and engraved drawings by chemically transferring ink from an old document onto a relief metal plate, without requiring resetting. Extended or figuratively, the term may describe a process of revival, complete restoration, or bringing back a damaged graphic support to its initial state.
• Anopistographic — Belonging to an anopistograph, relating to the technique of writing or printing on a single side of the material support; structurally characterized by leaving the reverse side free of any graphic marks. In bibliology, it describes a technical feature of early European prints or monumental epigraphic texts where using the second side would compromise readability or textual integrity.
• Letterhead — A printed formula or structural graphic element placed at the top of an official sheet of paper, an administrative document, or a webpage, including the institution's name, logo, address, and registration data. In modern editorial design, it serves as a visual identity anchor, guaranteeing authenticity.

• Antiqua — A type of Roman typographic characters with rounded, clear, and balanced lines (featuring discrete serifs at the ends), emerging during the Renaissance by imitating ancient Roman monumental script, directly opposing Gothic (blackletter) typefaces; a classic letter style heavily used in printing modern books for its high readability. As an adjective, it describes a text or matrix executed in this graphic style.
• Antim — A proper masculine name of Greek origin (Anthimos), historically carried by major ecclesiastical figures, the most famous being Antim Ivireanul, Metropolitan of Wallachia, author of 'Didahii' and founder of the Antim Monastery in Bucharest.

• Antim Ivireanul — Author, printer, engraver, theologian, and great hierarch of Georgian origin (Iberia), Metropolitan of Wallachia between seventeen group eight and seventeen sixteen, canonized as a saint by the Romanian Orthodox Church; a prominent figure of the Brâncovenesc era who contributed structurally to the definitive introduction of the Romanian language into divine service and the development of medieval typographic art. His major masterpiece is 'Didahii', a collection of rhetorical sermons of exceptional stylistic value.
• Antip — A rare technical term used in old typography or paleography to designate a correction mark, an inverse marginal notation, or a conventional academic abbreviation; in the jargon of vintage prints, it could also indicate an opposite page or a symmetrical structure inverted relative to the main text.
• Antiqua — A style of round typographic typefaces, inspired by monumental Roman inscriptions and Renaissance humanist script, characterized by the presence of serifs and a harmonious contrast between thick and thin strokes. This structural model laid the foundation for modern alphabetic fonts used in Western European book printing, contrasting with the Gothic or fractured style (Fraktur) through clarity, high legibility, and geometric elegance.
• Antisemitism — An alternative or erroneous spelling variant for the word 'antisemitism', emerging under the influence of orthography from other languages (such as Turkish 'antisemitizm' or Anglo-Saxon phonetic transcriptions). In the Romanian language, it is not accepted within the regulated academic standard, being considered a typo or a graphical deviation accidentally encountered in online spaces or unproffesional translations.
• Flat color — A uniform, flat, and perfectly homogeneous chromatic surface, obtained by applying paint or printing ink without shading, gradients, shadows, or visible brushstrokes. As an adjective, it describes a visual element or artistic composition made entirely of flat patches of color, eliminating the illusion of three-dimensionality to highlight the structural rigor and two-dimensionality of the form.
• Arial — An extremely widespread typeface (font) characterized by its sans-serif, neo-grotesque structural design, created in 1982 for digital screens and printed documents; it offers excellent legibility due to its clean, uniform lines and balanced proportions, becoming a global industrial standard across operating systems and office suites.
