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. Most tags are removed immediately, and thus the
casual viewer seldom has a chance to discern the difference between
entry level and advanced hand styles. Within the pages of Flip the
Script, author Christian Acker has systematically analyzed the best
graffiti hand styles, contextualizing the work of graffiti writers
from around the United States. Acker presents the various lettering
samples in a clean organized format, giving the material a proper,
formal treatment evoking classic typography books.
