sharp-cornered
With acute edges
Sharp-cornered describes something with corners that form distinct angles rather than curves or rounded edges: a sharp-cornered box, the sharp-cornered edges of the table.
The term often implies potential for injury or discomfort, as when warning about furniture that could hurt a child who falls against it.
