flatnose

Blunt facial feature

Flatnose describes something with a flat or flattened nose, whether anatomical or mechanical.

Flatnose pliers have broad, flat jaws for gripping.

A flatnose bullet has a flattened tip rather than a pointed one.

As a descriptor for people or animals, the term can be neutral or derogatory depending on context.
