Graffiti is usually appeared as images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property. Graffiti has been existing since very ancient times in Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. In ancient Rome, people don’t have a photocopier or a fax machine or a newspaper so when you have a written message to let other know, you scratched it on a wall. In modern, however, graffiti is considered illegal in a lot of countries. But a country that with significant tradition in graffiti is Brazil and Sao Paulo, the largest city of Brazil, is considered to be the current centre of inspiration for graffiti artists.
Graffiti can have different styles. Tagging is the simplest type of graffiti, usually done quickly in spray paint, markers or pens and lacking artistic form; A throw-up involves more work than tagging, usually having two or three colors and done in bubble letters; Stenciling can be a quick way to produce more complicated graffiti designs and by using two or more layers, you can produce color-rich designs; Wildstyle is a form of graffiti that was made popular by graffiti artists like Tracy 168, Zephyr in NYC. Graffiti in Wildstyle is relatively more complicated and artistic. There are other forms of styles such as blockbuster, hip-hop, heaven, stickers, wheatpasting etc. So there are really a lot of styles of graffiti, hence, graffti fonts.
