definition: This style represents a complex composition of letters assembled to give a unique shape and dynamic to the piece. In this style, the letters are distorted and superimposed, and sometimes enriched with three-dimensional arrows, tribals, pikes, puppets and other decorative elements that give an idea of movement and confusion. This complicated construction of interlocking letters is considered one of the hardest styles to master and the lettering of the pieces done in wildstyle is often completely indecipherable to non-writers.
