geometric
Involving precise shapes
Geometric relates to geometry—the branch of mathematics dealing with points, lines, angles, and shapes.
Geometric patterns feature regular shapes like circles, triangles, and squares: a geometric print, geometric designs.
Geometric growth increases by a constant ratio rather than a constant amount, producing exponential curves.
The building's geometric facade stood out among its ornate neighbors.
