rounded edge

Not a point

A rounded edge is an edge that curves rather than forming a sharp angle or corner.

The term appears in design, manufacturing, and safety contexts where sharp edges pose risks or aesthetic concerns: The table has rounded edges so children won't hurt themselves.

In software interfaces, rounded edges on buttons and windows create a softer, more approachable look.
