- Contains one regular two-pointed star polygon with vertex angle of 77.14 (3π/7)°.
- Contains one regular 7-pointed star polygon with vertex angle of 77.14 (3π/7)°.
- There are four non-regular reflective tiles (including one kite).
- The tiling satisfies the interlace condition and has three finite interlaces and no infinite interlace with straight cross-overs.
