Stacked letters dissolve into a curtain of fine red, green and blue pinstripes that folds like fabric as it sways down the page.

Letter outlines at the top, middle and bottom of the frame melt into a tall
drapery of fine pinstripes — red, green and blue bands so close they moiré —
that folds over itself as it sways.

The vertical morph is the same as its thin-cabled sibling, but the strokes are
drawn heavy over a coarse sampling, so neighbouring strands overlap into
continuous striped bands, and the sway schedule is sampled with a per-strand
stagger three times stronger — deep and shallow layers of the curtain lean
apart, which is what creases it like fabric. Hue and opacity are noise-picked
per strand from a cycling trig palette.
