beaky
Sharp-nosed in profile
Beaky describes a nose or face that resembles a beak—prominent, curved, or sharply pointed: a beaky profile, his beaky nose.
The word can be neutral or slightly unflattering depending on context.
In British informal use, beaky can also mean nosy or inquisitive, from the image of a bird poking its beak into things.
