J-shaped
Curved like hooks
J-shaped describes a curve or form resembling the letter J—a line that descends, levels off, then rises steeply upward.
The term appears often in statistics and economics to describe growth patterns: a J-shaped recovery, J-shaped population growth.
A J-shaped curve initially dips before climbing sharply, unlike the steady rise of a straight line.
