The Forensic Phenotype Report

A study of your facial architecture.

Each report measures the geometry of your face — facial index, nasal form, palpebral spacing, labial proportion, and the structure of cheekbones, brow and jaw — and compares it against documented reference populations held in our comparative craniometric and soft-tissue archive.

The result is a single morphological affinity score and a richly illustrated narrative: where in the world your features most strongly resonate, and a historical portrait drawn from that correspondence.

  • 01Measured, not guessedSoft-tissue landmarks read from your photographs against population means.
  • 02A composite affinity indexA weighted score across five independent trait groups — no single feature decides it.
  • 03A historical mirrorAn interpretive narrative portrait tied to your strongest regional match.
