About this file
Cairo Tiles takes the pentagonal tiling found on Cairo's streets, with every edge the same length, and draws each pentagon as an inset outline with a clear gap of ground between neighbours. Pentagons lying one way carry a solid inlay; those turned the other way carry a single dot, so the interlocking pairs read at a glance.
Colourways: Stone, Rust, Night. Each colourway ships as a 2048 px and a 4096 px square PNG tile (sRGB, no transparency), and the commercial licence adds the editable vector tile.svg with every colourway's hex values embedded, so you can recolour it in Illustrator, Affinity or Inkscape.
The tile is built on a torus - every shape that crosses an edge is drawn again on the opposite edge - so it repeats with no seam at any scale. It reads well with the tile printed at roughly 8–60 cm across, which suits tile-effect wallpaper, stationery, tote bags, upholstery and architectural presentation boards.
