profileshaped
Profileshaped is a term used in design and visual communication to refer to shapes and silhouettes that resemble a human profile, typically the side view of a head. Elements described as profileshaped retain a distinctive curved contour that runs from the forehead to the chin and is recognizable even when simplified to a two-dimensional outline.

Applications include branding, where a profileshaped mark can suggest user-orientation or a human-centric identity; user interface
Variations may be totally abstract or stylized, sometimes exaggerating certain features (like the forehead or chin)
