Usage Note

Angular describes shapes or features with pronounced angles or corners — un rostro angular ('a sharp-featured face'). In physics and mathematics it also appears in compounds: velocidad angular ('angular velocity'), momentum angular ('angular momentum'). The adjective does not change form for gender (el diseño angular / la piedra angular), though piedra angular specifically means 'cornerstone' (both literal and figurative).
