jaggy
Like saw teeth
Jaggy describes something with rough, uneven edges or points—jagged in a smaller, more irregular way.
In Scottish and Northern English dialects, it means prickly or sharp: Watch out for that jaggy bush.
In computing, jaggy refers to the stair-step appearance of diagonal lines on low-resolution displays, where pixels create visible notches instead of smooth curves: The text looks jaggy without anti-aliasing.
