What is a "cusp"?

A cusp is a pointed or projecting feature typically found on the edge of architectural elements, such as arches or windows. In Gothic architecture, cusps often appear in the design of arches or tracery, adding intricate detail and elegance to the structure. They can be shaped like small points or lobes, enhancing the overall aesthetic and creating a sense of complexity in the design. Cusps also contribute to the structural integrity by distributing weight and providing stability to arches and other elements. This decorative feature is commonly seen in various architectural styles, particularly in medieval and Gothic designs, where it enhances the beauty and character of the building.
