Shapes that tessellate and likewise resemble real-world items are frequently called Escher-like tessellations. This typeface contains Escher-like tessellations of birds. A number of years ago I chose to see the number of the 28 Heesch kinds of tessellations I might use to make birds basing on the backs of other birds. I found standing bird patterns for all 17 of the types that had actually either equated or slid edges. The TessieStandingBirds typefaces consist of the standing-bird shapes that I discovered. In the beginning glimpse they appear to be rather comparable, but little differences matter in how they mesh. Most of the patterns need more than one character. The sample file here reveals how pieces fit together to give tessellating patterns. (Earlier tessellation typefaces from IngrimayneType, the TessieDingies font styles, do not have a black or filled variation so can not do color scheme.)
