  • The "blockbuster style" is a distinctive form of graffiti writing that originated on the East Coast of the United States. Characterised by its large, square-like block letters, this style is not only one of the older graffiti writing styles but also continues to be practised in the present day. The blockbuster style is often used to cover large areas, such as entire walls or sides of buildings, making it highly visible in the urban landscape. This visibility, combined with the style's bold and straightforward lettering, makes it an effective tool for graffitists seeking to make a significant impact and establish their presence in a particular area. Despite its apparent simplicity, the blockbuster style requires a certain level of skill and control to execute effectively, particularly when covering large surfaces. The ability to maintain consistency in letter shape and size across a large scale is a testament to a graffitist's proficiency.
