Polish noble class had phenotype’s that were most likely looking Nothern-European, or North- Eastern (with few exceptions), from which most shows long and narrow faces, alike nose’s, rather lighter pigmentation (but not always obviously) and leptosome somatotype. Some exceptions look more darker by pigmentation or generally more “heavier”, by what I mean people with general stronger look, more meso-endomorphic body constitution or strong, wide or/and deep jaw’s.

That kind of “look”, phenotype’s were noticed by very few anthropologist’s, like J. Czekanowski, C. S. Coon or H. F. K. Guenter.
