Author's note

Desk Graffiti by James Key is a free techno graffiti display font with the feel of quick marker tags translated into clean, geometric letters. The forms are built from blunt, tube-like strokes, sharp angles, and open triangular shapes, so the font feels urban and schematic at the same time.

It fits music flyers, streetwear branding, game title cards, club posters, and zine covers where a rough tag influence needs a more controlled edge. As a free font, it also works well for short headlines, logo sketches, and monogram-style initials, because the letters reduce graffiti energy to a few bold strokes instead of busy texture.
