cubical
Like a block
Cubical means shaped like a cube—having six equal square faces.
A cubical box or cubical room has roughly equal height, width, and depth.
The word is the adjective form of cube, though cube itself often serves the same function: cube-shaped, a cube of ice.
Not to be confused with cubicle, the partitioned workspace.
