roundheaded

Having spherical cranium

Roundheaded describes something with a rounded top or head.

A roundheaded screw has a domed top rather than a flat or countersunk one.

The term applies to people with skulls that are relatively short from front to back—a distinction once given unwarranted significance in physical anthropology.

Capitalized Roundhead referred to Parliamentarian supporters during the English Civil War, mocked for their close-cropped hair.
