  • Handstyles, within the context of graffiti, refer to the unique signature or tag style of a graffitist. This concept encapsulates the individualised lettering style that a graffitist develops and becomes known for within the graffiti community. Handstyles are often seen in tags, serving as a visual signature that allows the graffitist to be identified. They are a testament to the graffitist's skill and creativity, showcasing their ability to manipulate letter forms and create a distinctive style. While handstyles are most commonly associated with tags, they can also appear in larger works such as pieces or writings, much like an artist signing their work. Some graffitists, like Keith Haring, are known for their unique handstyles that become a recognisable element of their larger works. Handstyles are dynamic and can evolve over time as the graffitist refines their style or adapts to new influences. They serve as a visual fingerprint within the graffiti-scape, marking the graffitist's presence and contributing to their reputation and identity within the graffiti community.
