About this icon

Composition

  • repeated segments
  • uniform spacing

Dense Caption

The image consists of a grid pattern composed of alternating yellow and white squares. Overlaid on this grid are multiple instances of the phrase "Normal is weird" rendered in solid black pixelated font. The text appears consistently across all visible sections of the grid, with no variation between repeated segments. Each instance of the phrase uses identical letterforms: uppercase 'N' followed by lowercase letters for 'ormal', a space, then 'is', another space, and 'weird'. The background pattern alternates between solid yellow squares and white squares in a uniform checkerboard arrangement.
