From ornaments to patterns

“The art of the designer is expressed in the creation of patterns, that is, of units or groups of units arranged so as to give the eye a sense of deliberate rhythm, either static, as in the case of a simple repeated pattern, or dynamic, as with a form implying natural growth. The fascination of experimenting with combining, reversing, spacing-out and alternating the simplest unit is indescribable.” WARDE, Frederic. "Monotype" Printing Ornaments, Lanston Monotype Corporation Ltd, London, 1928.
