The graffiti text generator adds bold overline and underline strokes to each character (G̿͟R̿͟A̿͟F̿͟F̿͟I̿͟T̿͟I̿͟), creating street-style typography that looks like thick marker tags on concrete walls. Copy and paste this urban aesthetic into hip-hop content, streetwear branding, artist tags, zine headers, and anywhere you need text with raw, hand-done street art energy.

Urban Street Art Typography with the Graffiti Text Generator

Graffiti lettering is characterized by bold strokes, strong outlines, and blocky forms designed to be visible and impactful from a distance. Street artists use thick markers, spray paint, and wide-tip tools to create tags that demand attention on walls, trains, and urban surfaces. This tool captures that aesthetic using two Unicode combining marks: the Combining Double Overline (U+033F) above and the Combining Double Macron Below (U+035F) underneath each character.

The result frames every letter between two heavy horizontal lines: "tag" becomes "t̿͟a̿͟g̿͟", "777" becomes "7̿͟7̿͟7̿͟". The effect resembles text written with a thick chisel-tip marker—bold rails above and below that give each letter a grounded, street-ready presence. Unlike actual graffiti which requires surfaces, tools, and physical presence, this digital version lets you tag anywhere text is accepted.

The double-line framing mimics the way marker strokes create depth and weight in street typography. Traditional graffiti writers layer their letters with outlines, shadows, and highlights to make them pop off the wall. While this digital version doesn't replicate those techniques exactly, the heavy horizontal bars create a similar sense of visual weight and urban authenticity.

Because these are Unicode combining characters—not images—the graffiti style works everywhere text is accepted, maintaining its urban edge across Instagram stories, Discord channels, SoundCloud profiles, and any platform where street culture thrives.

Street Tag Styling Tips and Platform Notes

Getting the graffiti look right:

• Double marks create the effect: Combining Double Overline (above) + Double Macron Below (underneath) frame each character like bold marker strokes. This creates the blocky, grounded appearance of street tags
• Works best in caps: "T̿͟A̿͟G̿͟" has more graffiti impact than "t̿͟a̿͟g̿͟"—uppercase letters fill the frame better and match traditional tagging style where all-caps dominates
• Keep it short: 1-4 words maintains the tag aesthetic. Real graffiti tags are brief and punchy—full sentences lose the street-art feel and visual impact
• Line height impact: The combining marks add vertical space above and below each line. Leave breathing room in tight layouts to prevent text from overlapping
• Platform rendering: Most modern platforms display the marks well, but exact weight and spacing can vary by font. iOS, Android, and desktop systems may show slightly different marker thickness
• Cultural context: Graffiti text signals urban culture, hip-hop, streetwear, and underground movements. It's not appropriate for corporate contexts, academic writing, or formal professional communications
• Pairs well with: Bold text for extra weight, Small Capitals for refined street style, and emoji (particularly 🔥, 💯, 🎨) for maximum urban energy
