slab-sided
Flat and angular
Slab-sided describes something with flat, vertical sides lacking curves or contour.
The term applies to animals with unusually flat flanks: a slab-sided horse.
It extends to buildings, vehicles, or vessels with plain, boxy profiles: The slab-sided van offered maximum cargo space.
The word suggests functionality over elegance.
