thumb|A self-referencing example of the art form. Fileteado () is a type of artistic drawing and lettering, with stylised lines and flowered, climbing plants, typically used in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is used to adorn all kinds of beloved objects: signs, taxis, trucks, and even old colectivos, Buenos Aires's buses.
Filetes (the lines in fileteado style) are usually full of colored ornaments and symmetries completed with poetic phrases, sayings and aphorisms, both humorous or roguish, emotional or philosophical. They have been part of the culture of Porteños (inhabitants of Buenos Aires) since the beginnings of the 20th century.
