A typeface is a specific design for a set of letters, numbers, symbols, and so on. Often, that design includes variations, like bold and italics, different widths, or even radically different styles. If these styles all share a name, they’re one typeface.

A font is the technology that allows a typeface to be used. Historically, this was movable type: a set of individual pieces (‘sorts’), usually made of metal, assembled into lines of text. With movable type, every size, weight and other variant of a typeface needed a separate font.
