- The terminal, which is any stroke that does not end in a serif
- The finial, a tapered or curved end[1]
- The swash, an extended or decorative flourish that replaces a serif or terminal on a letter
- The lachrymal (or teardrop), as found in Caslon, Galliard, and Baskerville[2]
- The ball, as found in Bodoni and Clarendon[3]
- The beak, a sharp spur, as found in Perpetua, Pontifex, and Ignatius.[3] Also defined as the triangular serifs on the straight lines of capitals like E, F and Z.[4]
