How it's used
This character is specifically used to describe a narrow or low forehead. It is a descriptive adjective that is rarely used in casual speech, as most people would simply use the word 窄 to describe the narrowness of a physical feature. You will mostly encounter it in written descriptions or when someone is being very precise about facial features.
