A small Dutch learning project built from frustrating practice sessions.
Letterform Practice Room is operated by Hues Capital B.V.. The project began in 2022 after a recurring problem in informal calligraphy study groups: learners could often see that a line felt uneven, but had no vocabulary or process for locating the cause.
From “copy this” to “inspect this.”
The first worksheets were simple comparison sheets: the same stroke written with early pressure, late pressure and controlled release. That diagnostic approach became the basis for modules on slant, spacing, joins and tool setup.
The platform serves remote learners in the Netherlands. It is educational in scope and does not operate as a commercial lettering studio or professional advisory service.
A compact five-person team.
Roles are deliberately narrow: lesson design, lettering review, practice-sheet production, accessibility and learner support.
Marit de Vries
Practice designer. Turns lettering problems into short diagnostic exercises.
Jeroen Bakker
Letterform reviewer. Checks stroke logic, joins and example consistency.
Sanne de Leeuw
Worksheet editor. Builds printable guides and self-review prompts.
Thomas Visser
Learning accessibility. Reviews instructions for clarity and pacing.
Noor van den Berg
