Side view - Chin and jaw

Gonial angle

The angle at the jaw corner between the ramus (toward the ear) and the jawline (toward the chin). Smaller angles mean a sharper, squarer jaw corner and larger angles a sloped, open one; mid-range values are preferred.

What counts as ideal

The ideal band differs by sex for this measurement: 115.0 deg to 121.0 deg for men and 117.7 deg to 124.9 deg for women. A reading anywhere inside the band scores a full 10.

Male ideal

115.0 deg to 121.0 deg

Female ideal

117.7 deg to 124.9 deg

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 105.4 deg and 134.2 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.

Gonial angle 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.
