Six classic molding types include: Cavetto, a concave, semi-circle molding, where the top edge juts over the bottom. Cyma Recta, a slightly rounded convex shape that bulges more near the bottom. Cyma Reversa, a slightly rounded convex shape that bulges more near the top. Ovolo, a molding with a quarter-elliptical profile.  Scotia, a receding, concave molding where the bottom ridge juts in front of the upper. Torus, a bulbous, semi-circular, convex shape.
