1. A through air bonded nonwoven fabric comprising a first surface, a second surface, and a visually discernible zone of three-dimensional features on one of the first surface or the second surface, each of the three-dimensional features defining a microzone comprising a first region and a second region, wherein the first region is different than the second region, the first and second regions have a difference in values for an intensive property, wherein the intensive property is one or more of:
a. thickness,
b. basis weight, and
c. volumetric density;
wherein the first surface has a first TS7 value, wherein the second surface has a second TS7 value, and wherein the first TS7 value is different than the second TS7 value; and
wherein at least a portion of one or more of the three-dimensional features forms a curvilinear shape.
