Graff


There´s a unique style of lettering in Sao Paolo that I´ve never seen anywhere else. The words are coded and their meaning only known by those who know the language. This style of lettering is all over Sao Paolo, on the top of 30 story buildings and other spaces that are really difficult to get at. Im told that these tags are done with rollers and not aerosol cans and that´´s why the straight, linearity of the style.

hey when i was in sao paolo i also noticed the strange symbols on the walls. after some research ive found that they might be a modern version of SIGLAS POVEIRA a descendent of the"FUTHARK" (ancient gallic runes). still used in portugal with gypsies, fishermen,farmers and gangs of lisboa
