good looking

Pleasant to see

Good looking means attractive in appearance, typically describing people: a good-looking couple, He's pretty good looking.

The hyphenated form usually precedes nouns; without the hyphen it follows: She's good looking.

The phrase is somewhat more reserved than gorgeous or beautiful, suggesting pleasant attractiveness without being effusive.
