nondescript
Lacking distinctive features
Nondescript describes something so ordinary or featureless that it's difficult to describe or remember: a nondescript office building, He drove a nondescript sedan.
The word suggests anonymity through lack of distinguishing characteristics—not ugly or attractive, just unremarkable.
As a noun, a nondescript is a person or thing of this sort.
