I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bony' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ran gaul in style' is the wordplay.
'ran gaul' anagrams to 'ANGULAR'.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for angular that I've seen before include "With prominent bone structure" , "with geometric design" , "With jagged outline" , "Bony - lean - gaunt" , "Sharp-cornered" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
