The kites {(kLS,kLL,kLS,KSS)} have vertex angles k = kLS = kLL = arccos[(2-sqrt(2))/4] = 81.578942° resp. K = KSS = arccos[-(2+sqrt(2))/8] = 115.263174°.

Edge sizes used here are kLSKSS = x = 1 (short) resp. kLLkLS = d = 2-1/sqrt(2) = 1.292893 (long). – The pseudo edge of size e is the symmetric diagonal of the kites, while the pseudo edge of size b is the asymmetric diagonal of the kites.

The following description is based on the fact that it also is the convex hull (or tegum sum) of 3 polyhedra, an a-scaled oct (kLL vertices), a b-scaled co (kLS vertices), and a c-scaled cube (KSS vertices). Note moreover that, just as its dual's (sirco) square faces form sets of lacing faces of perfect inscribed ops, here as well the kLL and kLS vertices together form 3 mutually orthogonal perfect regular octagons. These octagons will have a circumradius a/q = b and a side length d = kLLkLS.
