Hi! My name is
Viktor Baltus

I’m a Dutch designer with a passion for calligraphy and typography. During my studies in Amsterdam, I discovered a love for font-making and now I love helping other aspiring designers turn their font-making dreams into reality. I believe in teaching in a clear and concise manner, so you can easily understand and grow as a designer. Whether you’re looking to pick up new design skills or just brush up on your knowledge, I’m here to help.
