Clone of Sierpinski Black. The second name "Dalmatian" refers to the spotted back and white pattern commonly found in those lovely dogs.

Out of sheer joy I have experimented with the Sierpinski theme a little more. I have discovered the black and white patterns can be seamlessly joined to form new exiting patterns. Dalmatian is one of them, and I hope you like it.

Nice! Fractals make for interesting fonts...

seriously impressive!

Comment by margaretnicholdesign 2nd march 2010

although this font is just black and white, it looks somehow gradated to me.

Comment by ssaamm 3rd march 2010

Same illusion effect of gradation for me. Certainly my favourite of the 3

Wonderful! I took this up to the largest magnification and my mind was completely 'boggled' with the intricate delicacy of this amazing work. Sadly, I can only give it 10 - it's worth so much more.

this series is great and this font is for me the best of the set. the use of the positive and negative space achieves a ying-yang effect that is harmonious to the eye and very calming.

the entire Sierpinski series reminds me of kaleidocycles. they almost yearn to be cut out, creased and folded into various shapes. the book 'M.C. Escher Kaleidocycles' is one reference, although there are others. interestingly, i did not come across any references to Sierpinski kaleidocycles, which based upon your interpretations here, would seem to be a natural :)

Sorry for my tardy response. Thank you all for your comments and generous ratings. I wish, I could share half the joy I had while creating the Sierpinski series.

@funk_king: Thank you for your thoughtful comment on Kaleidocycles. We are back to M.C. Escher. The Dutch master seems to inspire us at every corner of geometry and visual art. I don't have this book, but I've learned enough about the art and craft of kaleidocycles from the web. I think, I'll give it a go.
