ADVENTURES WITH THE POINTED BRUSH A NEW ONLINE CLASS IN MAY-JUNE 2021 
READ ALL ABOUT IT HERE

Welcome

Hi, I'm Yves Leterme, a professional calligrapher and lettering artist, ​living near the fair city of Bruges, Belgium. 

"Letters act as practical and useful signs, but also as pure form and inner melody," Kandinsky once mused and I couldn't agree more.
​Ironically, as the handwritten word threatens to disappear, we find ourselves all the more enraptured by graceful, expressive and skillful handwriting.

I've set myself to help preserve the revered tradition of artful lettering and illustrate its relevance, even in this digital age.
​This may sound like a lofty goal, but it's actually quite a gratifying and relaxing thing to do.

November 16, 2020 - The famous Litterae box is now also available as a digital file. It contains the original set of designs, the booklet with comments and, as a huge bonus especially for this edition, a complete make-over of the entire set.
NOT TO BE MISSED, so hurry down to my shop.

In February 2018, I've launched my first online course on Roman Trajan capitals, using the Acorn Arts platform, that allows for a swift interaction with all the students as a group and individually. 

As this online format greatly pleased both the students and myself, I went further on that road and developed two more online courses, one on Italic and its transition to a free, gestural style and one on built-up and drawn capitals.  

These three courses met with great enthusiasm from hundreds of students worldwide, which is why we offer them again from time to time.


Click on online classes in the menu to learn more about their content and the way it works, to read some testimonials, watch a few videos and to learn when they're scheduled again. 
Stay tuned and subscribe to my Newsletter if you don't want to miss out on one of these occasions. 

If you like to receive regular updates on what I'm working on and/or see pictures of my recent (and not so recent) work, I welcome you to follow me on Instagram or Facebook.
