A nonwoven web for an absorbent article, the nonwoven web comprising: a first surface; a second surface; and a visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features on the first surface or the second surface, wherein the three-dimensional features comprise one or more first regions and a plurality of second regions; wherein the one or more first regions have a first value of an average intensive property, wherein the plurality of second regions have a second value of the average intensive property, wherein the first value and the second value are different, and wherein the first value and the second value are greater than zero, wherein the average intensity property is basis weight; wherein the one or more first regions comprise: a first line; a second line, wherein the first line extends in a direction substantially parallel to the second line; a third line extending at least partially intermediate the first line and the second line, wherein the third line extends in a direction transverse to the first line and the second line, wherein the third line is curvilinear and comprises an arcuate portion; a fourth line extending at least partially intermediate the first line and second line, wherein the fourth line extends in a direction transverse to the first line and the second line, wherein the fourth line is curvilinear and comprises an arcuate portion; and a fifth line extending in a direction substantially parallel to the first line, wherein the fifth line is substantially symmetrical to the second line about the first line; a sixth line extending transversely at least partially intermediate the first line and the fifth line, wherein the sixth line is symmetrical to the third line about the first line; a seventh line extending transversely at least partially intermediate the first line and the fifth line, wherein the sixth line and the seventh line have substantially the same length; an eighth line extending in a direction substantially parallel to the first line, wherein the eighth line is substantially parallel to the first line about the fifth line; and a ninth line extending transversely at least partially intermediate the fifth line and the eighth line, wherein the ninth line is symmetrical to the sixth line about the fifth line; wherein the third, fourth, and ninth lines have a positive slope relative to the first and second lines; wherein the sixth and seventh lines have a negative slope relative to the first and second lines; wherein the fifth, sixth, and ninth lines intersect at the same point; wherein the first, third, and sixth lines intersect at the same point; wherein the first, fourth, and seventh lines intersect at the same point; and wherein the plurality of second regions are free of the first line, the second line, and the third line.
