The office of London design studio DUDE was vandalized... so they turned the graffiti into a free* typeface for everyone to use.

*The studio requests that if you download it, that you please donate £5 to Bow Arts Center.

I kind of like it? Far better than most novelty fonts, in any case.

That doesn't seem like much of a disincentive for other grafitti artists trying to make a permanent impression.
