• The serif, including:
• The regular serif
• The bracketed serif
• The half-serif
• The terminal, which is any stroke that does not end in a serif
• The {{strong|finial}}, a tapered or curved end{{Cite web |title=Anatomy of a Typeface |url=http://typedia.com/learn/only/anatomy-of-a-typeface/ |publisher=Typedia.com |accessdate=2018-06-12 |archive-date=2018-02-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180212142154/http://typedia.com/learn/only/anatomy-of-a-typeface/ |url-status=dead }}
