Color Sets

Fidenza uses probabilistic color palettes. These are a set of colors that are selected by hand to work well together. Each color in the palette is assigned a probability. So, for example, you can say that about 50% of the shapes will be blue, 25% will be red, 10% yellow, and so on. For Fidenza, I prepared 14 different probabilistic color palettes, one of which uses a different probability technique.

Varieties of Scale

Jumbo

Jumbo XL

Large

Medium

Small

Micro Uniform

There are seven different “scales” that Fidenza can operate. These control the sizes of the potential shapes. Most scales have a probabilistic mix of small, medium, and large elements. Those are:

Small - Very Rare Medium - Rare Large - Second most common Jumbo - The most common, with nice big chunky shapes Jumbo XL - Rare, huge shapes only

Then there are two special scales, where all of the shapes have the same thickness. These produce a particularly harmonious result:

Uniform - All shapes have the same medium thickness Micro-Uniform - All shapes have the same super tiny thickness
