chiseled
Angular and defined
Chiseled describes something cut or shaped with a chisel—a tool for carving wood, stone, or metal.
The word usually appears figuratively to describe features that look precisely carved: chiseled cheekbones, a chiseled jaw.
The implication is sharp, well-defined lines suggesting strength or classical beauty, often applied to male faces and physiques.
