Top 20 Free Graffiti Fonts For Graphic Designers

Graffiti is one of those art forms that is a lot older than it seems. Originally, the term referred to inscriptions and figure drawings found on the walls of ancient walls of sepulchres and ruins, like the ones at Pompeii (some of which were especially saucy) or in the Catacombs of Rome. Use of the word eventually evolved to include any images applied to public surfaces with the intent of vandalism. You will love some of these free graffiti fonts that you have probably never seen before.

The medium started being taken seriously during the very late 70’s and the 80’s. Although it already was a big phenomenon in the United States (mostly in New York), graffiti culture stagnated in Europe, until the early to mid-80’s. In 1979, Claudio Bruni, and Italian art dealer, gave a gallery opening in Rome to Lee Quinones and Fab 5 Freddy.

Nowadays, graffiti is an accepted art form to which many people are attracted to, whether as art creators or art consumers.

We have covered graffiti on multiple occasions. Also, we can show you amazing graffiti artists, and give you a bit of design inspiration. Today, however, we will be giving you design resources.

“For me, graffiti and the complexities with which it is either absorbed or expelled from what is going on, is a really good comparison to the way I see my work being similarly expelled or absorbed into different types of discourse.”

– Richard Phillips
