SynopsisDistinctive hand lettering is an essential skill for artists and designers. Deftly executed letter forms are a nearly forgotten art in an age of endless free fonts. Graffiti is one of the last reservoirs of highly refined, well practiced penmanship. The m, Graffiti remains one of the last reservoirs of well-practiced penmanship. A unique feature of this publication is its catalog of graffiti writers' complete alphabets. We expect the uninformed observer shall come to recognize these letters for their raw beauty and skeletal forms and that the educated reader will appreciate the thought that has gone into the organization of this book.

Through interviews and writing samples, Flip the Script offers deep access to some of the most talented writers in the country.

Typographical extravaganza
This book contains tons of knowledge that is being washed away with the sands of time. There is nothing that could replace living in those times but the knowledge dump in this book is top notch if you are an aspiring tagger or a graphic artist that wants to develop a true street look this book will help you get there faster than any other book on this niche of the graffiti world.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
