Pixação: São Paulo Signature

Literally meaning ‘trace’ or ‘stain’ and dating back in its contemporary form to the mid-1980s, pixaçõe is a striking form of graffiti unique to the city that developed when Sao Paulo writers began creating imaginary calligraphic signatures influenced by hybrid blackletter, historic letterforms and the logos of heavy metal and hardcore bands. With more than 125 photos as well as a detailed analysis of the phenomenon, São Paulo Signature deciphers for the very first time an unparalleled graphic universe.
