triangle face shape (pear)
A triangle (pear) face is wider at the jaw and narrower through the forehead.
How to recognise it
Compare forehead, cheekbone, and jaw widths against face length. Look for which third is widest and whether angles read soft or angular in a front-facing photo.

- Volume at the crown — Top volume balances a wider jaw.
Glasses direction
- Cat-eye — Weight at the top balances a wider jaw.

Blend note
Photos often sit between two families. The detector reports alternative scores when cheekbone, jaw, and forehead widths are close — use the blend panel on the tool result for the full split.
