In the five element classification angular, solid features are most often assigned to the metal type, read as order, discipline and standing by one's word. The reader looks at the angle of the jaw corners, how straight the forehead runs to the sides, and the ratio of height to width. A well-proportioned square face is read as someone who sees work through, takes responsibility and stays resilient in hard times.
