writing / script
'die Schrift' and 'die Schriftart' can both mean the graphic style of letters. In this sense, they are often interchangeable, especially when talking about texts on a computer, posters, or printing. 'Schriftart' is more precise because it directly refers to the style of the letters. 'Schrift' is a bit more general and can also have other meanings, such as handwriting or a writing system. When the context is clear, however, both words are usually understood to mean the same thing.
