geometric forms
Circles, squares, triangles
Geometric forms are shapes defined by mathematical properties—circles, squares, triangles, cubes, spheres.
In art and design, the term distinguishes regular, precise shapes from organic or freehand ones: The building's facade featured stark geometric forms.
The phrase often implies clean lines and deliberate structure rather than natural irregularity.
