Twofigure

Twofigure is a term that appears in several domains without a single canonical definition. Derived from the combination of 'two' and 'figure', it functions as an adjective or noun depending on context and can denote a compositional motif, a numerical designation, or a proper name distinct from a general concept.

In art history and visual criticism, twofigure (often written two-figure) describes works that depict two human figures, typically engaged with one another or with a shared relational dynamic. The motif is analyzed through relationships, pose, gaze, and spatial arrangement, and is contrasted with single-figure portraits or larger crowds.

In typography or cataloging contexts, two-figure or twofigure can refer to two-digit numerals (ranging from ten to ninety-nine). The term helps distinguish these numerals from one-digit figures, affecting layout, pagination, or archival indexing in certain historical or specialized texts.

As a proper name, TwoFigure has been adopted by various small organizations and design projects, often as an emblem of pairing, collaboration, or dual capability. Because usage is context-dependent and there is no standard definition, the meaning of twofigure varies with its field and source.
