pointed nose
Tapered facial protrusion
A pointed nose is a nose that tapers to a narrow, somewhat sharp tip rather than being rounded or broad.
The phrase is purely descriptive in most contexts: She had a pointed nose and high cheekbones.
In folklore and caricature, pointed noses often appear on witches, villains, or cunning characters, giving the feature occasional negative connotations.
