A type of graffiti style that is complex and hard to read. Often found on Burners.
Usually the letters will intertwine within itself and often other shapes and lines that have no relation to the letters will overlap or intertwine within each letter. Causing a very "busy" look to the peice.

I just finished a 8 color wild style freight. Solid black outlines with green and yellow fades for the fill..
