About ITC Seven Treasures™ Ornaments Pi ...
Designer: Akira Kobayashi, 1998
ITC Seven Treasures™ Ornaments Pi belongs to the ITC Seven Treasures™ Ornaments Font Family which is part of the ITC Collection.
Akira Kobayashi's ITC Seven Treasures is a symbol font for use in patterns and textures. The interlocking patterns, usually circular or oval, are taken primarily from motifs used in Japanese textiles. Most of these designs are known as komon, or "tiny patterns," and they are often applied to kimono and other textiles, although their use is not limited to fabrics. They also appear carved in wood in traditional architecture, and painted in pictures as background patterns. Each of the individual designs in ITC Seven Treasures Ornaments is carefully sized and spaced so that it will fit together into a continuous pattern. Most overlap slightly but precisely, so that when you type a row of them you can't tell where one leaves off and the next begins. They may be combined or alternated to vary the texture of a background pattern.
ITC Seven Treasures is a trademark of International Typeface Corporation and may be registered in certain jurisdictions.
