Shoulder

The shoulder is the curved stroke found on a lowercase h, m, and n. Depending on the typeface, the shoulder can be curvy and sloping, as well as angled and sharp. Just like the shoulders of an actual human being!

Sometimes, the shoulder is called an arc which is justified due to the resemblance to the curved part of a circle and the arch — the architectural vertical curved structure.
