That is generally called a “scoop” cutaway.
What do you mean by the fretboard style?
okay, after looking at some google image galleries for "ukulele" it seems that Sopranos have fretboards that stop at the body, whereas all the other sizes have full-length fretboards. There were a few exceptions, the vast majority of pictures conformed to this. And that explains why I didn't know about partial fretboards: I have never owned or even had an interest in anything smaller than a tenor. Well, live and learn!
It is cool, but I have to wonder if that scoop is big enough to serve its function. I just received my first cutaway ukulele and I absolutely love the access. But it is fully cut away. Maybe the full cutaway is overkill and all one needs is the scoop.
