How it's used
Focuses specifically on a combination of physical attractiveness and a trendy, cool sense of style. While it can be used to describe a stranger, it is often used among friends to tease or compliment someone who has put extra effort into their appearance. It carries a more casual and youthful vibe than the standard term 靚仔.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 靚仔, which is a more general term for a handsome man or even a polite way to address a young waiter. 型仔 implies a specific sense of fashion or coolness rather than just good facial features.
