cherubic
Like a cherub
Cherubic describes a face or expression resembling a cherub—the plump, rosy-cheeked angels of Renaissance art.
The word suggests innocent sweetness, round features, and childlike beauty: a cherubic smile, cherubic cheeks.
It applies mostly to babies and young children, though adults with soft, round faces may be called cherubic, sometimes with a hint of condescension.
