FormPattern is an easy to use set of shapes with endless possibilities. It is excellent for making patterned lines, areas, and frames. Many of the shapes can also be used as letters or can be combined to create them. The density of the patterns can be adjusted with spacing. The glyphs are cut with no side bearings so the shapes will touch and naturally flow into patterns.
