Author's note

Typestry is a simple play with patterns, to create a texture while typing. The font includes the basic Latin characters transformed into graphics, so there is actually a single glyph that repeats itself. This should be some sort of record of how small a font can get, still with a huge effect.

The line height and the letter spacing was adjusted so the graphic would align as close as possible and create a pattern without grids or any visible spaces. A paragraph probably should be aligned to left or right, or type an equal number of letters on each line, to tile the patterns on top of each other. Otherwise it works well on every direction. The line height is set to 1.2, so if there's any gap between the lines, this should be adjusted.

The initial design is an old wallpaper, printed on a fabric, reproduced here in a digital format. Always a fan of wallpapers, but a bit afraid of clustered designs, now happy that this is available at a keystroke.
