nondistinctive

Without notable features

Nondistinctive means lacking features that set something apart or make it recognizable.

In linguistics, a nondistinctive feature is one that doesn't change meaning—the aspiration of the "p" in "pin" versus "spin" is nondistinctive in English because swapping them wouldn't create a different word.

More generally, something nondistinctive is unremarkable or generic: The building's nondistinctive facade blended into the block.
