Definition
- A graffiti style characterised by the ease of execution. It is made of large, square, or rectangular block letters. It is two-toned: one colour for the fill-in (using temper, roller, or paintbrush) and one for the outline. Mainly invented to cover over other people and to paint whole trains easily, but they are effective on smaller walls for maximum coverage.
