What is the term of art for the non-curvy tops of these threes?

Also, do these numbers have serifs ?

For your time, a ‘33 Chevrolet Deluxe Coupe

They do have serifs, I don’t know what you’d call the top being flat (other than “The top is flat”) but if there’s anything I learned from the graphic design elective I took in college, art has a name for everything.

Which is why I asked. Wikipedia refers to it as “flat-top.” And I guess it’s not very prevalent. It keeps people from forging the 3 into an 8.

It’s a flat entry stroke vs a curved entry stroke.

It depends entirely on the context. I have spent enormous amounts of time trying to find the perfect font for something.
