It's basically when your index finger is noticeably shorter than your ring finger, giving the hand a slightly stout, almost symmetrical look. I saw a character with that trait in 'Devil's Hand Knight', a fantasy story where the protagonist's uniquely proportioned hands become a visual clue to a much larger magical heritage. The plot actually makes his unusual physical trait a central part of the mystery and his evolving powers, which was a neat twist on a typical fantasy protagonist detail.

'Hobbit hands' is the usual term for odd-looking hands in Anime, Comics, Games, Novels discussions especially. It's as good a name as any for those funky-shaped, undersized hands that J.R.R. Tolkien's characters had in his books.

The Hobbits are the main offenders, with unusually shaped and sized hands in contrast to the bulk of Middle-earth. Hobbits are shorter than men and elves, and their hands are relatively larger in size.

Their fingers are thick and limber, making them all the more suited for healthy kitchen work. In cosplay and artistic works by fans, 'Hobbit hands' is a typical portrayal highlight their uniqueness within Middle-earth as a distinct species.
