Truchet tilings. The tile sets are at the bottom. The patterns are random compositions or reproductions of existing ones.

Nice Tiles!
At last, I cracked the technical challenge of making Truchet tiles on Fontstruct. Enjoy it.
@Frodo7 - A masterful achievement! Congratulations on your breakthrough. :^)
@Goatmeal: Thank you for your comment and generous rating. I believe it was a big deal because Fontstruct — although modular by nature — is not very Truchet-friendly. The tile sets are shown under each tiling to demonstrate how complex patterns emerge from a few simple tiles. However, I could not make custom bricks for each tile, which would have made my job a lot easier. Instead, every trick in the book was used to achieve the perfect look (filters, custom bricks, and nudging).
The next challenge is to build multi-scale Truchet patterns. I'm not sure whether it's possible with Fontstruct, or not, but we'll soon find out.
Super-interesting work!
This make to remember to the FS Patterns.
Fascinating and beautiful!
Totally agree with four.
I would add "mesmerizing" to it as well.
Great stuff Frodo7!
Elmoyenique, TypoMan Foundry, Four, and Aphoria: thank you for your comments and ratings. I really appreciate them.
@aphoria: It's good to have you around.
Multi-scale Truchet tiling.
Fascinating fractalization!
