魁伟- how to use?

[Scoobyqueen]

I have noted down this expression 魁伟 in my notes as meaning big and tall. Now I cant remember in which context I saw it. The dictionary has not got many examples. Could anyone provide a typical example of its use. It looks like it has other meanings too.

Thank you in advance.

yes: stalwart, burly, robust, tall&strong all 对

typical use of 魁伟 would be in phrases like 身材魁伟/体格魁伟/魁伟体格/形体魁伟

it's meaning is typically masculine 魁伟 的男子/大汉; there's this stereotype of 男子魁伟女子娇小

example sentence：他不但个子高而且魁伟

& there's also the phrase： 高大魁伟
