After these, the most basic solid shapes, there is a family of shapes whose faces are regular polygons which is one step less uniform than them, known as the Archimedean solids. These bodies are those which may have more than one type of face, but which only have one kind of corner.

A key characteristic of the Archimedean solids is that each face is a regular polygon, and around every vertex, the same polygons appear in the same sequence, e.g., hexagon-hexagon-triangle in the truncated tetrahedron, shown above.

(SHOWN ABOVE ARE THE THIRTEEN ARCHIMEDEAN SOLIDS) ... Seven of the archimedean solids are derived from the platonic solids by the process of ‘truncation’, literally cutting off the corners of each of the platonic solids.
