baby-face
Innocent-looking mug
A baby-face is a round, smooth face with soft features that make someone look younger than they are.
The term can be affectionate or dismissive depending on context: He's got such a baby-face—I'd card him at a bar.
Baby-faced works as an adjective: the baby-faced recruit.
In wrestling and boxing, a babyface is the heroic or sympathetic competitor, opposed to the heel or villain.
