I need a good term for a symbol set with certain characteristic.

Let's call it X and give a definition:

"X" is a set of visually consistent and different symbols. Visual consistence
supposed to appear when the symbols are placed next to each other.

Examples of an "X":

digits
small latin letters
capital latin letters
...

Question: what is X?

Update

Clarification:
In other words how do I solve the problem of ambiguities by an Internet search. Let's say I want to search for "positive trends in font developement?" With positive trends is meant technical graphical improvement of glyphs for sake of the legibility, readability and I don't want to hit the results about artistic variations of same old symbol set.

So how would I use the term "font" with intention to avoid ambiguity with font as replicas and modifications of Garamond? 99% of search results will lead to catalogues of replicas and grotesks for modern latin set.

X is a Font Family or Typeface. Less technically you could also refer to it as a Font which is technically speaking a subset of the aforementioned. Of course some Font Families or Typefaces only contain a single Font which is why they're so frequently used interchangeably.
