- All the internal angles of the constituent polygons are a multiple of 3°.
- Contains one regular 8-pointed star polygon with vertex angle of 90°.
- Contains one regular 10-pointed star polygon with vertex angle of 54°.
- There are 18 non-regular reflective tiles (including 2 kites and one dart) and one reflective pair.
- The tiling satisfies the interlace condition and has four finite interlaces and four infinite interlaces with straight cross-overs.
