rounded corners

Curved, not sharp

Rounded corners are corners that curve rather than meet at a sharp angle.

The term appears most often in design contexts—software interfaces, product design, architecture—where sharp edges are softened into gentle arcs: The app has that clean look with rounded corners on all the buttons.

Rounded corners became a signature of modern digital design, associated with approachability and polish.
