Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Tagvex.
Tagvex is a chunky graffiti display in mixed case with wide chisel-marker strokes, flared terminals and long wet-paint drips hanging from the baseline. The core letters stay solid and readable while the drips add movement, and a built-in offset shadow in the specimen style gives depth without a second ink. Drips extend below the baseline, so the layout needs foot room, and the face needs roughly 25 mm for the drips to read as paint. It is a street face for posters, cups and apparel.

Street-art poster, mixtape cover and skate-video title
Chisel strokes with drips read as a tag sprayed on a wall, which suits a street-culture release. The solid core keeps a title readable at thumbnail size.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Poster A2, word 280 mm with 25 mm drip allowance, details 22/28 pt, 30 mm margins. Cover 312 x 312 mm, word 200 mm, credits 7 pt. Title card 1920 x 1080, word 780 px.
Pre-production check
Drips extend the artwork box and get cropped when a file is fitted to a page. Declare the box to the printer, and check one printed poster for a cut drip before hanging.
Graffiti-theme invite, cup wrap and cake topper
Dripping letters set a street theme in one word, which a teenager's party can carry without props. Heavy strokes survive a vinyl cut on a curved cup.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Invite A6, name 18 mm with 8 mm drip allowance, details 4.5 mm, 10 mm margins. Cup wrap 200 x 90 mm, word 20 mm, 10 mm from the rim. Topper 150 x 120 mm, name 50 mm, 8 mm stick slot.
Pre-production check
Vinyl drips under 2 mm tear during weeding and the tag ends up clean. Keep drips at 3 mm minimum, add a 2 mm clear border, and check one cut cup before the party.
Skate-jam banner, event wristband and street-fair sign
A spray-tag look reads as a local street event rather than a sponsored festival, which is the tone a skate jam wants. Two inks keep a long banner affordable.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Banner 2000 x 600 mm, word 340 mm, 120 mm margins, eyelets every 500 mm. Wristband 250 x 25 mm, word 7 mm, 3 mm fold clearance. Sign 900 x 400 mm, word 180 mm, 60 mm margins.
Pre-production check
Woven wristbands stretch about 8 percent and a drip at the die edge frays. Keep 4 mm inside the die, use the solid core on the band, and test one on a wrist before the event.

Street Blaze
Street Blaze is a heavy graffiti capital alphabet in which the letters swell into bubbles, the contours chip and the stems carry a rough inner edge, so a two-word title reads as something sprayed on a wall.
Graffiti brush display
Wallpaint
Wallpaint is a graffiti brush display in black with a white outline on a painted brick wall: heavy strokes with wet, ragged edges, chunky joins, a tall ascender and a loose baseline, with spray-painted marks around the word, so the plate reads as a fresh piece rather than a lettered sign.

Retro Graffiti
Retro Graffiti is an angular graffiti display in yellow on black: blocky letters with cut corners and a thick white-then-black outline, set at a tilt over spray strokes, with a spray can character at the side.
