I was looking for an excuse to play around with color layers, so I colorized one of my old Dingbot designs.
This is a clone of Dingbots and Monsters XLThis work is based on M.C. Escher's woven ribbon motifs, 1938, 1942. He's made wooden stamps for the basic motifs, and rotated and combined them to create fantastic woven fabric patterns. I've simply taken his idea a step further using combinatorics. Please note, this is a Fontstruct rendering, and as such may differ from the original.
This started out as a joke, but it just kept getting more interesting to me as it was developed.
Completed countertops can contain at least two pieces: an uppercase and lowercase letter. The left side of the counter starts with a capital letter, which has a corresponding right side piece in the same lower case letter. Numbers and Shifted Numbers contain center pieces that can be typed in multiples.
The <>, [], and {} make special faux perspective counter pairs. Use sparingly.
