A letterform is the shape of a single letter: its outline and structure. Its style carries across a whole font family, a piece of custom lettering, or a calligraphic hand.
To read a letterform, look at two things. The first is the parts that build each character: bowls, counters, stems, and shoulders. The second is the proportions that govern the whole typeface: x-height, cap height, and the reach of ascenders and descenders.
