Pattern from bookofshapes.com. Generated with Book of Shapes by Nikolaj Sokolowski.

Book of Shapes, created by Nikolaj Sokolowski, collects customizable SVG patterns across grid, flow, radial, noise, isometric, distortion, organic, and physics categories. Named studies such as Woven Grid, Flow Lines, and Quarter Arc Truchet provide starting points for comparing geometric structures. 

For plotter work, the collection offers ideas to investigate before checking a chosen export’s paths, scale, and density against the intended pen and paper. The site also explains its output license, including restrictions on redistributing pattern collections and three named exceptions. Read those terms before using a generated result in a published or commercial project.
