smooth edge

Clean, even perimeter

A smooth edge is a border or boundary without roughness, jaggedness, or abrupt transitions.

In physical objects, it describes surfaces that have been sanded, polished, or finished to remove sharpness: The carpenter gave the table a smooth edge.

In digital contexts, smooth edges refer to anti-aliasing techniques that soften the stair-stepped appearance of curved lines and diagonal shapes on screens.
