Holdaway H-angle
Angle between the line from chin to upper lip and the line from chin to nasion. Holdaway's ideal is 7–15°: lower means a flat or retruded mouth, higher a protrusive one or a weak chin.
Reference range
| Male | Female | |
|---|---|---|
| Range scored 10/10 | 7.0° to 15.0° | 7.0° to 15.0° |
Outside the range the score falls off smoothly: about 6/10 at 4.0° outside it and about 1.4/10 at twice that. Ranges are compiled from facial-aesthetics research and the neoclassical canons; they describe averages of faces rated attractive, not a medical standard.
What can fool it
Read off the face mesh, which estimates soft-tissue depth; a beard hides the chin point.
Where it counts
It feeds the Harmony pillar (proportional balance between features), which is 35% of the overall LooksAudit score.
