Formwork

An ongoing construction site.
Formwork is an independent design studio founded by Barbara Virginia Tedeschi (IT) and César Bourgeois (FR), working across visual communication, art direction, and spatial thinking.

We guide projects through their formation. We are drawn to ideas in the making — unstable, unfinished, and full of potential. We work to develop solid foundations, building structures designed to hold and evolve over time. Alongside client work, Formwork operates as a Lab. A space for independent exploration, where ideas can exist outside of immediate application. These experiments generate friction, producing noise that feeds back into commissioned projects.

Fuerte is a condensed mono sans serif inspired by the Olivetti Presentor typeface. It pairs a clean design with a regular rhythm, giving text a sense of order and compactness. The family includes two weights and a range of OpenType features. While Fuerte carries an overall geometric feel, it reads softer and more pleasing than the mechanical typefaces it shares a lineage with.
