About the family


PreCursive was designed for elementary school teachers or anyone designing materials for early education. This family includes eight styles covering the "Modern Manuscript" and "precursive" forms of elementary writing and basic letter formation. We've divided the family into two sub-families: "Modern Manuscript", provides the standard characters as written in the 2nd stage of writing development, right after the initial "Ball and Stick" phase. "Precursive" provides the 3rd stage that introduces the beginnings of directional and connecting strokes. Each of the two sub-families is provided in four styles: Regular, Italic, Bold and a "Lined" style that includes the guide lines from that classic brown paper we used in kindergarten and 1st grade.

About Graffiti Fonts

The Graffiti Fonts® type foundry was created in 1999 to fill the gap in the typographic world created by the absence of modern graffiti lettering & handstyles. When the foundry released its first commercial collection in 2001 there were less than a dozen fonts in existence that had been designed to purposely emulate & identify as modern graffiti. By the time the 4th collection was released in 2009 over 140 fonts were included with the foundry having produced more graffiti style typefaces than the rest of the collective world. The primary designer Matthew (Raseone) Napolitano is a lifelong graffiti artist and graphic designer. His lettering, fonts & other work have been featured across industries by names like: Lucasfilm, Netflix, Warner Bros., Midway, THQ, Sony, Genentech, Penguin, Avon and others. His 2003 Wildstyle™ font family was featured in the 2012 Yale University text entitled: Graphic Design A Modern History alongside Shepard Fairey's Obama poster as the book recounts the impact of graffiti art in all its facets on modern design. While this foundry has an obvious theme & focus & while graffiti itself has spawned many of its own unique new forms and styles you'll find that graffiti is an art form without limitations and this foundry builds lettering in any and all motifs, not only traditional graffiti styles. Graffiti artists will adapt and use any technique, any style, any technology, any tradition & seek to blend, expand & attempt to improve upon or expand it. This freedom is the real theory behind our foundry. Thank you for looking. We hope our work can help you to achieve your creative goals.
