rounded corner

Not a sharp angle

A rounded corner is a corner where two edges meet in a curve rather than a sharp angle.

The term appears most often in design contexts—graphic design, web interfaces, architecture, and product design—where rounded corners soften visual appearance and feel more approachable than sharp right angles: The app uses rounded corners on all its buttons.

In physical objects, rounded corners also reduce injury risk and wear.
