inverted triangle
Point-downward three-sided polygon
An inverted triangle is a triangle with its apex pointing downward and its base at the top, the opposite of how triangles are typically drawn.
The shape appears in warning signs, fashion terminology (describing a body type with broad shoulders and narrow hips), and various symbols.
In graphic design, it creates visual tension by appearing to balance precariously on its point.
