Terminal (typography)
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2017) |
In typography, any stroke which does not terminate in a serif is a terminal.[1] By definition all sans-serif typefaces have terminals, and serif typefaces often have them as well. Spurs, ears, and swatches are all terminals, and hooks often end in terminals.
Types
[edit]Terminals come in many types, including:
- finial
- ball
- beak
- teardrop
