Anterior facial depth

What counts as ideal

The ideal band is 64.5 deg to 67.5 deg for both men and women. A reading anywhere inside the band scores a full 10.

How it is scored

Everything inside the band scores 10, and the penalty accelerates the further a reading falls outside it rather than dropping off a cliff at the edge. For the male band, the falloff is measured against bounds of 54.4 deg and 82.2 deg: a reading out at either of those has spent its full allowance and scores about 3. The curve keeps going past them, so an extreme reading still separates from a merely poor one.

Anterior facial depth is one of 67 measurements in the harmony pillar. No single measurement decides a face: each one contributes its own shortfall to a weighted mean, and one hopeless measurement costs a full measurement's worth and never more.
