angled

Positioned at slant

Angled describes something positioned at an angle rather than straight or perpendicular: an angled mirror, angled parking spaces.

As a verb form, it means directed or positioned deliberately: She angled the lamp toward her book.

Figuratively, angled suggests a slant or bias: The article was angled toward conservative readers.
