2-D
Lacking third dimension
2-D means two-dimensional—having only length and width, without depth.
The term describes flat surfaces, images, or representations: a 2-D drawing, 2-D animation.
It contrasts with 3-D, which adds the third dimension.
Figuratively, a 2-D character in fiction lacks psychological depth or complexity.
