boxily
In rectangular fashion
In a boxy manner—with angular, squared-off proportions rather than smooth or rounded ones.
The adverb typically describes how something is shaped or designed: The car sat boxily on its wheels, all right angles and flat panels.
It often carries a slightly unflattering connotation, suggesting bulk without elegance.
