As a good graphic design professional, you know that fonts are an element that allies with you to achieve good designs. Therefore, you must have a whole arsenal of letters to satisfy customers, and yourself. But do you have graffiti typefaces?
Although these fonts are focused on certain projects, because due to their design and shape they are not as legible and are normally used more as a base than to write something, that does not mean that you do not have to pay attention to them. Do you want a collection of them?
What can graffiti fonts be used for?
We must not forget that graffiti fonts can be very complicated to read, much more difficult to understand, so when using them for a project, they have to have a presence but not be used for very long words, much less for sentences.
Although now you can find many types of graffiti fonts, which are more or less legible, because of the "scribbles" that they form, it is better to use them to be punctual in the designs. They can decorate the set but it is not recommended to use them with a text font as they will be more complicated to read.
free graffiti fonts
Now that you know what you can use graffiti fonts for, it's time to give you some free letter names that you can use. Of course, keep in mind that many of the free ones are also for personal use, that is, you cannot use them for projects that imply a commercial function. But you have others that you can use.
In addition, there are many tools on the Internet that can help you create graffiti, and they are also a very good option for your projects.
Without further ado, here are some of the sources that you will find.
Maelstrom
We start with a font only for personal use but that is quite striking and curious where they exist.
That yes, when you see it you will see that it is very complicated to understand, which is why we recommend that, if you use it, you do it for very short words and that it is not necessary to "recognize" them but, from the context, you already know what what does it say.
You can also use it as a decorative fountain.

08 Underground
Here we have another typeface that simulates the real one, that is, a handwritten typeface. It is much more readable than the previous one and less "graffiti" but belongs to modern graffiti.
It is one of the most used and thanks to its legibility you can use it for headers or titles.
The downloads here.
Sister-Spray
It is similar to the previous one, only that it gives the sensation of having been written with a pot of paint, which is why it is perfect as a graffiti typeface.
You find it here.
Bombing!
This typeface also reads well, but be careful not to overload your design with it. And it is that with the shadow generated by the letters the design can be very heavy. It is better to use it for short titles or to capture the user's attention in parts of the design.

Ruthless one
A more complicated graffiti typeface to read at first glance is this, where the strokes are already joining between the letters, leaving this feeling that it is a whole set with each other.
The same author has another font, Ruthless Two where it reads somewhat better, but the letters are still very close to each other.

Blow brush
With hints of hip hop culture and graffiti, this font by designer Petar Acanski is one of the most widely used.
The letters are easy to read and clear, but you also have many different variations to play with.

gang bang design
Keep in mind that this graffiti typeface is only given to you in uppercase, there are no lowercase letters. In addition, it has two variations: one with the paint dripping (as if it had been really painted) and one without it (clearer to read).
You have it here.
The five one two
In this case, the letter is in capital letters and also does not have any symbol, so you could only use it for headers or titles, or as a background for designs.
It is clear, not as clear as others, but the words are well understood.
You get it here.
Most Wasted
In this case, you have letters that tend to stand out much more than the others, as is the case with S or T. And in each word there will be a letter that stands out and is out of the norm.
Of course, it does not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters, and when putting the text you can put the capital letters as lowercase and vice versa (it alternates randomly).

Stylin 'BRK
In this case we are talking about a graffiti font more properly, although only for personal use. This one does not have numbers or punctuation symbols, but it does have the full version that can be purchased.
You have it here.
Hooligan
It is another of the graffiti letters that is least understood and therefore it is to be used in very specific elements, even if it is for the background.
The letters are linked together in such a way that, although you can read the words, it is actually hard to know what they say, and it will make the user tired if after 3 seconds they do not know what it says (unless it is something very obvious ).
You have it here.
Graffiti
Its very name indicates it. This is a font that attracts attention because all of them “go their own way” and at the same time it is quite legible, which makes it perfect for highlighting texts in the project.
You have it here.
PW Graffiti
Again, a typeface that is difficult to read but can be perfect for the background of the project, since you can place a wall with several works made with graffiti.

As you can see, there are many graffiti fonts that you can use in your designs. The best thing is that you go changing between sources to see which one is the best and, in this way, manage to do a good job. Do you recommend any more that you know or that you have used? We'll be alert.
