It has Schläfli symbol of {4,4}, meaning it has 4 squares around every vertex.
There are 9 distinct uniform colorings of a square tiling.
This tiling is also topologically related as a part of sequence of regular polyhedra and tilings with four faces per vertex, starting with the octahedron, with Schläfli symbol {n,4}, and Coxeter diagram , with n progressing to infinity.
Isohedral tilings have identical faces (face-transitivity) and vertex-transitivity, there are 18 variations, with 6 identified as triangles that do not connect edge-to-edge, or as quadrilateral with two collinear edges.
There are 3 regular complex apeirogons, sharing the vertices of the square tiling.
