identikit
Police face builder
An identikit is a composite picture of a suspect's face, assembled from standardized drawings of facial features based on witness descriptions.
The term comes from a branded kit used by police, but now applies to any such composite image.
As an adjective, identikit describes things that are generic or interchangeable, lacking individual character: identikit housing developments, identikit pop stars.
