Base color is visible when stroke Align is set to 100% inside.

Thanks! I've made another one, but this time I tried different approach. I used only straight lines and changed their profile. This pattern is highly and easily customizable. Just play with stroke's parameters. Sample:

@encart Cool method.

To expand the possibilities, you could use blending between lines (instead of groups of lines), then change the properties of one of the lines, or play with the blend transfer curve.

@encart wow! thanks - that is really generous of you to include the video and share the source file. It will be fun to experiment like you did and see what kind of results can be produced - your examples look awesome!
What's interesting - when I saw your initial post, I literally made a vertical stretch of triangles all flush with one another and added the stroke to to each one that I set the different incremental widths... in your latest example, you did it with tapered strokes - which gives so much more control
Even just moving one set off a little from the other produced this:

I often see the different shape pattern halftones like this on the vector sites like shutterstock - some of them are pretty easy to replicate, others seem more complex, it would be fun to try to recreate them in our own way. I'll collect a few examples and share.

You really love that blend transfer curve! Is that what you were recently testing out?

So the next logical step to me with this process is setting up the best way to export these as a repeatable pattern

@Boldline Before pasting the lines inside the square shape (to be used to make the pattern), I would expand them and combine them with Union.

I just have to say WOW.
Thats a very cool find
and of course cool patterns

And thanks for sharing the File.

So the next logical step to me with this process is setting up the best way to export these as a repeatable pattern

• Expand all of the strokes
• Union them
• Unlock background square
• Select all of the objects and use Exclude back from boolean operations

That's all. You can make multiple copies and use

to remove free spaces between.

Or turn it into pattern brush.
Here is used as a stroke of the circle.

@encart I would add one more trick: In the Stroke panel menu, enable "Filtered Outline", and then try some of the shape effects on the whole group.

@encart

that's what I like about experimenting and associating
you try out a diffuse idea it evolves and you find
something spectacular
