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 taken it upon 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 fun.
