Das Graffiti-Schreiben wurde Ende der 1960er Jahre in den Straßen von Philadelphia geboren. In New York wurde es Anfang der 70er Jahre zu einer vollwertigen urbanen Kunst, die allmählich die Landschaft der Stadt von den Mauern bis zu den U-Bahnen eroberte. In diesen Anfangsjahren, legten die Graffiti-Pioniere durch ihr konstantes Spiel mit den sechsundzwanzig Buchstaben des Alphabets, die sie verzerrten und umformten, den Grundstein. Im ersten Abschnitt dieses Buches erzählt der französische Graffitikünstler Woshe die erstaunliche Geschichte der Geburt dieser Kultur. Anschließend untersuch er im Detail, wie Graffiti-Writer die Struktur der sechsundzwanzig Buchstaben des Alphabets weiterentwickelt haben. Das Buch ist mit einer Fülle von Illustrationen und Beispielen, die zeigen, wie Künstler ihren Fonts customiziren. Am Ende des Bandes beantworten zehn der talentiertesten Graffitikünstler der internationalen Szene Fragen von Woshe zu deren Praxis, ihre Beziehung zu Fonts und ihren kulturellen Bezügen ihrer Praxis. Der Band ist ein Writing Handbuch, sowohl eine Ideensammlung als auch ein wunderbares Buch über die Welt der Graffiti, aber vor allem ist es eine Liebeserklärung an diese Kultur, die urbane Performance und die Virtuosität des Graffitischreibens verbindet. Alphabeatz schließt mit 10 sehr informativen Interviews internationaler Künstler: BATES und SWET (DK), DARCO, LOKISS und ZOER (FR), SUCHEN (FR), DEMS (ES), GESER, JURNE und SYE (USA).
