front

When used as a noun to describe a position, it is common to use the phrase "at the front" (e.g., at the front of the room). In military or weather contexts, "front" refers to a boundary line. These are usually treated as countable nouns. As a facade or a fake appearance, "a front" is often used in crime dramas or psychological descriptions to mean something that hides the truth.
