shape language
The use of different shapes is a major tool in character design. While varied shapes play a role in the overall perception of the character’s personality they can also suggest the movements or emotions of a character. A character made up of squares may feel more slow and stable, whereas a character made up of triangles may give off a more excitable feeling. Circles or curves are often used for more likable characters. This could also make them feel more friendly and bouncy.
