An alleged photo of the elusive Banksy holding the artist’s trademark stencil signature which is based on Stop, with horizontal stretching. The a seen here seems to have been refined over time, being either a custom modification of Stop's C or D, or perhaps loosely based on another font entirely, such as the similar Motter Tektura.
