I wanted to write about this for a long time (about a year now). A list of good, free graffiti fonts.
\nBut I’m not really into fonts, so it seems out-of-place on this blog.<\/p>\n

Recently I needed a good free graffiti font, and saw that there was nobody who had made that list. Well that’s not entirely true, I found one: 12-fantastically-free-graffiti-fonts\/<\/a> but I don’t agree with this list.<\/p>\n

So instead of complaining about lists that other people make, I will start my own.
\nI used dafont<\/a> to find the font used here, because every free font ends up there.<\/p>\n

When I see designers using a graffiti font, they tend to use: Aaaiight!\/Aaaight! fat<\/a><\/strong>, 5cent<\/a><\/strong> or Bring tha noize<\/a><\/strong>. Although they are nice, there are better graffiti fonts. <\/p>\n

As every list is a personal reflection of the list-makers own taste and this list is made with stuff I like.
\nI like the condensed, tightly spaced, big marker tags and that’s what I like in the fonts. But I’m also a designer and it’s difficult to explain to your boss, that the font is “dope” but nobody can read the message. So I also looked at lower case, upper case, if it’s more a headline font or a body font, if it’s readable, the fonts has numbers, special characters, and that is use with a very scientific method to come to this list (my guts).<\/p>\n

But I must say, I understand why nobody ever made this list… there are not a lot of good, complete fonts out there. Probably because good graffiti artists don’t go sit down and create a font for us, they are out there creating art! To everybody on this list (and not on this list), thanks for the free fonts and the time spend on making the font.<\/p>\n

My list is cut up in two parts:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. tag fonts<\/a<\/li>\n
  2. piece fonts<\/a<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Tag fonts<\/h3>\n

    A “tag” is the most basic writing of an artist’s name in either spray paint or marker. A graffiti writer’s tag is his or her personalized signature.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
