Flip the Script REPRINT

REPRINT NOW AVAILABLE OF THIS POPULAR TITLE. Distinctive hand style lettering is an essential skill for artists and designers. Deftly executed hand-crafted 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 most reviled and persecuted form of Graffiti, the Tag, is seldom appreciated for the raw beauty of its skeletal letter forms. In Flip the Script, author Christian Acker has systematically analysed the best graffiti hand styles, contextualising the work of graffiti writers from around the United States. Acker presents the various lettering samples in a clean organised format, giving the material a proper, formal treatment evoking classic typography books.
