well-favored

Nice to behold

Well-favored means attractive or good-looking, typically describing a person's face or general appearance.

The word is old-fashioned and literary: a well-favored young man caught her eye.

It suggests pleasing features rather than striking beauty—someone whose looks find favor with others.
