angularness

Having pointed edges

Angularness is the quality of having angles, sharp corners, or a bony, jutting appearance.

It describes both physical shapes—the angularness of the building's facade—and bodily features: His face had an angularness that softened with age.

The word can extend to manner or style, suggesting something stiff or lacking smooth curves.
