Cove Drift / original

Original staggered Cove repeat with quarter-turn rotations and violet dots. Scale the entire tile down for a golf microprint or up for gift wrap and backgrounds.

Tonal Cove / charcoal

Original quiet charcoal golf pattern. Small staggered Cove marks; default mark height 3.15 mm.

Aperture Lattice / quiet stone

Clean vector interpretation of the interlocking D-aperture lattice from the mockups. Aperture curves are adapted to square cells and rotated in four directions; all four repeat edges are periodic.

Hidden Cove / original lavender

Original subtle lavender golf microdot. Six Cove marks replace six of 64 dots; keep this quieter version alongside the stronger versions.

Hidden Cove / warm cream, stronger

Revised stronger cream golf print. Cove marks 4.375 mm high, dot diameter 1.47 mm at the default scale.

Hidden Cove / pale gray, stronger

Revised stronger pale gray golf print. Same motif positions and scale as the warm cream version.

Aperture Lattice / cream + taupe gift wrap

Clean vector interpretation of the interlocking D-aperture lattice from the mockups. Aperture curves are adapted to square cells and rotated in four directions; all four repeat edges are periodic.

Aperture Lattice / ink + violet gift wrap

Clean vector interpretation of the interlocking D-aperture lattice from the mockups. Aperture curves are adapted to square cells and rotated in four directions; all four repeat edges are periodic.

Cove crossword / first spaced study

First crossword exploration: smaller horizontal and vertical DDMIND runs. Preserved as an alternate; it intentionally interrupts the staggered field.

Cove crossword / bold two-direction study

Intermediate bold lettering study with horizontal and vertical runs. Preserves the original staggered field outside the letter runs; alternative to the strict cell substitution version.

Cove / strict one-cell letter substitution

Final approved construction: six letters replace six symbols one for one on the same 9 × 12 grid. No dots. One horizontal ODDMIND discovery per 108 motif positions; the Cove provides the O.
