Usage note

'Spigoloso' means sharp/angular in terms of face or body shape. 'Ossuto' (bony) implies prominent bones. 'Affilato' (sharp like a blade) describes a narrow, pointed face. 'Angoloso' is a near-synonym, slightly more neutral.

Example

"Ha un viso spigoloso con gli zigomi alti e la mascella quadrata."

"He has an angular face with high cheekbones and a square jaw."
