A small line at the extremities of a main stroke in a type character (5)

I believe the answer is:

serif

(Other definitions for serif that I've seen before include "Letter feature" , "additional line in letter?" , "Brazil port" , "Feature of some typefaces" , "Stroke's foot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
