thickset
Short and broad
Thickset describes a body type that is broad, solid, and compact—stocky rather than tall or slender: a thickset man with powerful shoulders.
The word suggests density and strength without implying fat.
It also describes vegetation or objects planted close together: a thickset hedge.
