Broad graffiti capitals with sharp projecting joins
Graffiti Youth shows dense irregular capitals with angular tips, slanted crossbars and closely fitted side strokes, and the lower word leans and spreads differently from the upper row.

Sturdy stroke walls and open counters weed cleanly on adhesive vinyl, HTV apparel film, and cut cardstock.
Visual anatomy & craft review
The strokes stay broad, the tips cut into sharp points, the crossbars slant against the uprights and the letters press close enough that neighbours nearly touch. The projecting join is the character: the row reads as tagged lettering rather than a set alphabet, which is why the sample lets the two rows move differently. Because the side strokes fit tightly, keep 34 pt so the joins stay separate, and note that the gradients, black surround and mural behind the title are artwork rather than verified font contents.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Graffiti Youth’s stroke geometry.
The dense caps suit a shop sticker, and the angular joins stay sharp at 30 mm on a shaped die with a dark ground. The angular tips also give a sticker its direction.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 mm sticker: set the word at 30 mm, keep 4 mm of clear vinyl between the letter joins, and keep 6 mm of border so the angled tips are not trimmed. Keep the die shape simple.
Pre-production check
Two projecting joins closer than 3 mm merge into one shape; check the sheet at full size and open the spacing.
The broad lettering scales to a wall, and the sharp tips hold a club name at 200 mm across a painted panel. The broad strokes also hold a wall panel together.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 1500 by 900 mm panel: set the name at 200 mm, keep 60 mm of space between the letters so the tips read separately, and keep 80 mm of border for the mask edges. Keep the mask edges clean.
Pre-production check
A sharp tip painted at 40 mm rounds off under a roller; check the mask and keep the letter at 150 mm or above.
The angular capitals give a workbook energy, and the dense row holds a short title at 24 pt on an A5 cover. The dense row also keeps a small cover bold.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A5 cover: set the title at 24 pt in the upper half, keep 5 mm between the letters, and set the subject line at 10 pt in a plain sans beneath with 8 mm of clear ground.
Pre-production check
A dense masked row printed at 18 pt becomes a dark bar; check the proof and keep the title at 22 pt or above. Keep the subject line plain.
