curved edge

Bent outer line

A curved edge is a boundary or border that bends rather than running straight.

The term appears in design, manufacturing, and geometry to describe surfaces or objects without sharp angles: The table's curved edges make it safer for children.

Software tools often include options to round or curve edges for aesthetic or functional purposes.
