Making almost a circular form / Making almost a circular form

Question

I'm trying to describe a character which happens to be a boar. The boar has two pairs of rusts, a lower pair and an upper pair. I want to say that his two upper rusts are uncomenly curved backwards... Should I say: uncommenly curved backwards making almost a cercle. Or: uncommenly curved backwards making almost a circular shape.

Answer 1

I would suggest to say "uncommonly curved backwards, almost making a circle". This is because your usage of "almost" suggests that the circle isnt perfect, so using both "almost" and "shape" would be a tautology. (using words that mean the same thing twice)
