Clawstyle
Clawstyle is a form of graffiti writing that emerged in the early 2000s. It is characterized by a stylized, angular, and often abstract lettering technique. Unlike traditional graffiti, which often prioritizes legibility and mimicking existing fonts, clawstyle emphasizes a unique aesthetic that can be difficult for the untrained eye to decipher. The letters in clawstyle are typically elongated and sharp, with exaggerated serifs and an overall aggressive or dynamic appearance. This style can incorporate a variety of color palettes and fill techniques, but the core of the style lies in the distinct shape and structure of the letters themselves.
The origins of clawstyle are often debated, with many attributing its development to specific graffiti writers
