Abstract: An asphalt roof shingle assembled into a roof covering, presenting repetitive and uniform, geometric patterns. The shingle has an upper headlap portion and a lower visual feature region. The visual feature region includes a first visual feature and first and second transition portions of a second visual feature. The transition portions may be either identical or different in size and configuration. In another embodiment, a plurality of alternating, identically sized and shaped visual features, such as teeth and cutout spaces, is arranged in lineal fashion along the visual feature region. Transition portions of teeth or cutout spaces are located on opposing lateral edges of the tooth portion. When adjacent shingles are installed on a roof structure in abutting relation, laterally adjacent transition portions form a full-size visual feature, such as a tooth or a cutout space.
