angular
Lean and gaunt
Angular describes something having angles or sharp corners, as opposed to curved or rounded forms: angular features, an angular face.
The word extends to movement that is stiff or jerky rather than fluid: His angular gait made him easy to spot in a crowd.
Angular can also suggest someone who is thin and bony, with prominent joints and sharp lines to their frame.
