Terminal

The way a stroke ends where there is no serif, which carries most of a sans serif's character.

what it is	where a stroke stops, and the shape the end is cut to
measured from the source	Drew Grotesk has 346 free stroke ends across its 127 glyphs, ends no other stroke in the same letter is holding: 182 land elsewhere, 64 on the baseline, 44 on the cap, 35 on the x-height and 21 below the baseline	read from the shelf's own stroke data on 2026-09-29, rather than measured off its ink. A shared end is a JOINT, left round by the build so the chain does not saw-edge at its bends; a free end is where the letter actually stops. The 178 and 65 this row carried were read on a build replaced before it shipped
and the three lines are cut, the rest are not	an end landing on the cap, the x-height or the baseline is cut HORIZONTALLY through that line when it arrives steeper than 45 degrees, and on the baseline a foot is cut flat down to 30; anywhere else it is square to its own stroke, or round	read out of the shelf's own build rather than inferred. That rule, with the 45-degree limit on every line, was the last of the baseline fault on this shelf: a shallow diagonal's foot was cut square to itself and its corner hung under the line. Loosened for the baseline alone on 2026-09-24, because a hanging foot is the fault and an arm ending at the x-height is not
