Synopsis "Philadelphia Graffiti Handstyles: An Exploration in the Early 2020s"

Philadelphia has developed a distinctive form of street penmanship that remains largely overlooked in American graffiti. The city is home to an independent street tagging scene that represents a striking local form of calligraphic tradition thriving within the limits of a major metropolitan area. In the spring of 2023, French graphic designer Francois Chastanet undertook an in-depth exploration through the streets of Philadelphia. Armed with his camera, he set out to demonstrate how public name-writing in the city, rooted in a rich legacy, continues to flourish through unique styles. At the same time, notebook sessions with writers from different generations offered a rare insight into the preparatory work done on paper before performing in the street. Through photographs and diagrams, Chastanet traces the ongoing evolution of handstyles, especially highlighting the condensed and monumental "Tall Hands", and the remarkable "Wickeds", elaborate wild-style signatures that require exceptional skill and are found nowhere else. As the land of extreme cursivity, Philadelphia has much to offer to anyone interested in letterforms.
