hooked nose
Curved nasal bridge
A hooked nose curves outward and downward, resembling a bird's beak or a hook.
The term is descriptive but carries antisemitic baggage from centuries of caricature depicting Jewish people with exaggerated hooked noses.
Aquiline nose (from Latin for eagle) describes the same shape without the loaded connotations.
