Text tools for faster graffiti workflow

• Custom tag lettering — unique wordmarks, arrows and flourishes.
• Vectorize & cleanup — expand strokes, fix overlaps, prepare for print/cut.
• Poster & tee mockups — fast previews for clients and shops.

How to choose a graffiti font

• Readability vs. attitude. Bubble, marker and stencil read quickest; wildstyle is for headlines only.
• Weight & contrast. Pick thicker stems for tees, stickers and cut vinyl.
• Layers. Many sets include fill, outline and shadow; stack them for impact.
• Alternates & ligatures. Look for swashes, arrows and stylistic sets to avoid repetitive forms.
• All caps? Most graffiti sets shine in all caps; test mixed-case if available.
• Language support. Check accents (é, ñ, ç) if you need multi-language titles.

Project ideas

• Tee graphic: stack fill + outline + drop shadow; keep main word 2000–3000 px wide.
• Sticker pack: add a 2–4 mm white keyline; avoid ultra-thin drips.
• Event poster: headline in bubble; details in clean sans.
• Thumbnail: condensed outline caps with thick stroke for legibility.
• Wall print: try stencil layers for a sprayed look.

Production tips (print & cut)

• Convert to outlines. Expand strokes and appearances before sending to print/cut.
• Offset path. Add a slight stroke/offset (1–2 px at web, 0.5–1 mm in print) to prevent ink choke.
• Minimums. Keep smallest drips/apertures ≥ 0.8–1 mm for vinyl; ≥ 1.2 mm for screen print.
• Color layers. For multi-layer looks, export separate spot colors or stacked SVG layers.

Licensing: what matters

• Merch. Most commercial licenses allow static artwork (posters/tees). Check EULA for print-on-demand.
• Seats. One license per designer/device unless stated otherwise.
• Trademark. You trademark your artwork (the logo/tag), not the typeface.
