Chamfered square tiling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In geometry, the chamfered square tiling or semitruncated square tiling is a tiling of the Euclidean plane. It is a square tiling with each edge chamfered into new hexagonal faces.

It can also be seen as the intersection of two truncated square tilings with offset positions. And its appearance is similar to a truncated square tiling, except only half of the vertices have been truncated, leading to its descriptive name semitruncated square tiling.
