Graffiti Taxonomy
For typegeeks like me, nothing beats looking at overlooked, yet fresh, typography.
And what better place to see some of that than on the walls of Manhattan? The folks at ni9e.com have put together a brief taxonomy (rather, a start of a taxonomy) of graffiti lettering. Once you break down graffiti into separate letterforms, and begin to categorize it by thickness, angle, line dynamics, and so on, you are beginning to reach a deeper aesthetic understanding of what graffiti tags are. And there's a lot of interesting styles out there.
Check out the beginnings of their project here. Lots of other interesting stuff over on their site as well, but for me, this is the most promising exercise I've seen there.
