strong jaw

Prominent facial bone

A strong jaw refers to a prominent, well-defined jawline—typically angular with a squared-off chin.

The feature is conventionally associated with masculinity and attractiveness in men, often cited as a marker of good genetics or dominance: He had the strong jaw of a leading man.

The term appears frequently in discussions of facial aesthetics and evolutionary psychology.
