Rooftop é uma fonte modular inspirada na Pixação feita com extensor (um rolinho de pintura fixado em um longo cabo usado para escrever em locais inalcançáveis ao pixador com spray) praticada em Brasília, capital do Brasil, e em suas áreas periféricas denominadas “entorno”. As formas dos módulos se baseiam nas que surgem nessa escrita resultado de movimentos relativamente limitados (em sua maioria verticais) realizados com tal artefato. Suas dimensões são adaptadas à arquitetura do DF e região. O nome da fonte é um termo utilizado em vários locais do mundo para nomear os graffitis feitos a partir de telhados. Possui mais de 200 caracteres.

Rooftop is a modular font based on pixação made with roll painting set in extender cable, practiced in Brasília, capital of Brazil.
With the growth of Brasilia, also it occurred the disorderly growth of its peripheral areas. In these places pixação is more recurrent, and its performers act in several ways.
The intention of pixador is usually having your name as visible as possible. By using extender cable their letters reach places that the spray does not reach as easily.

The shape of the font is based on the limited movement of the roll when set on the extender cable.
Among many other things, its shape differs from the letters from other cities such as São Paulo for example, by having a smaller difference in the width/height ratio. This difference is the adaptation of the letters to holders of Brasilia, this city was planned to be vertical as other major capitals.
The word "Rooftop" is used to designate graffiti made on roofs, in lateral buildings, facades and the like.
