The Best Graffiti Alphabets

Graffiti enthusiasts respect this artistic expression as a form of ancient communication.


Many people consider graffiti to be vandalism, but according to the sites Article Alley and Tag Graffiti Alphabet, the origin of graffiti dates to the beginning of humankind and cave drawings. Article Alley states the origin of the word "graffiti" is Italian, and means scribbling or scratching. Archaeologists refer to the casual drawings on ancient buildings as graffiti and graffiti experts claim that some of the hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt were a type of graffiti, as well as writings found preserved in the excavated ruins of Pompeii, destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D.


Simple Graffiti Letters


Graffiti designers take pride in the individuality of their expressions.


Simple graffiti letters are are black and white, or whatever color you like, and look like they are drawn with an angle tipped marker. The letters are wide, but narrowed at the ends with extensions, like calligraphy, for a fancy touch.


Bubble Graffiti


Sometimes graffiti artists only want to express themselves on a personal level.


Creative and fun to look at, bubble graffiti doesn't have the rebellious appearance of many graffiti alphabets. Nevertheless, bubble letters are the foundation for other, very expressive alphabets. A couple of these are Wildstyle and Throwie.


Collateral Damage Graffiti Font Black


A bold, blue graffiti style expresses the artist's individuality.


Collateral Damage Graffiti Font Black looks as dynamic as it sounds. Scary in appearance, this alphabet looks difficult to recreate, like a splatter that is artistically guided to form a letter. A few of the vowels have pronunciation marks over them, accents and tildes, and the Os have eyes. Intense!


1968 GLC Graffiti Bold


Your own special design can be viewed by the world, or other artists.


1968 GLC Graffiti Bold looks just like a graffiti you might find on a wall. It was inspired by graffiti designs from the '60s and '70s and has the appearance of brush painted letters. The letters are wide, and the color is not necessarily solid in appearance, as if they were painted on a rough surface that didn't catch all the paint. The edges of the letters are also not smooth, but look like dry-brush, with the brush having run out of paint. Find this font at My Fonts.
