Logarithmic spiral French curve, as a solid black shape
Logarithmic spiral French curve. The preview is the SVG file itself.

A band between two logarithmic spirals, a turn and a third long. The radius falls by the same share with every degree, so the outer edge runs from about 65 mm out from the centre down to about 11 mm at 100 mm across.

Scaling a design scales its thinnest part too. Here is this one at seven sizes, from 1 to 12 inches on its longer side, with how many copies fit a 12 × 12 inch sheet or mat.
