I don't know what they call this shoulder, but I like it very much. One way to do this shoulder is to cut the shoulder seam on the paper pattern straight as an arrow, along with reinforcing the shoulder in the canvas with a few extra layers of hair cloth going up-grain and cross-grain. It can be done with very little pad in the shoulder. To me it is very 1930s.

Welcome to the LL.
This is a "pagoda" shoulder. It is most often used in women's couture. It is a highly stylized shoulder that requires mountains of padding. We see it in some French bespoke tailoring of the past combined with a narrow, close to the body silhouette. Many find the look a bit studied.
Cheers
