Gonial Angle
The angle of the jaw where the vertical ramus meets the horizontal body of the mandible; ~110–120° reads as a strong masculine jaw.
The gonial angle is the corner of the jaw, where the vertical branch (ramus) meets the horizontal body of the mandible. A more acute (sharper) gonial angle around 110–120° creates the defined, square jaw associated with masculine attractiveness. An obtuse angle (130°+) makes the lower face look soft or recessed.
Gonial angle interacts with body fat and masseter (chewing muscle) development — a good bone angle can still be hidden under facial fat, and a strong masseter can sharpen the visible angle. It is a primary component of lower-third facial rating.
What is an ideal gonial angle?
Roughly 110–120° for a masculine jaw. Much larger reads as recessed; much smaller can look overly square.
Can mewing change your gonial angle?
Claims are overstated. Bone angle is largely genetic; body fat and masseter development affect how sharp it looks.
