Ten working days. One decision a day.
(keep scrolling, ten days go by)
Day 01
Kick-off at the big table
Goals, limits and a one-page brief, signed before lunch.
Day 02
Research walk
We visit your place, you visit ours. Photos, notes, receipts.
Day 03
Three directions
Rough, fast and in pencil. Nothing polished yet.
Day 04
Pick one
Together, in one call. The other two go in the offcut drawer.
Day 05
Build the system
Type, colour, grid and the shapes that make it yours.
Day 06
First real pieces
The things you’ll actually use on Monday.
Day 07
Friday print test
Proofs on real paper, in daylight, at arm’s length.
Day 08
Refine
We fix what the proofs showed us. Usually small, never nothing.
Day 09
Handover prep
Files, fonts and a short guide your team can follow.
Day 10
Launch, then lunch
A handover call, then lunch on us in Príncipe Real.

07 — A letter from the studio
08 — The studio
Two people. You’ll talk to both.
Inês
Moura
Co-founder · identity & type
Keeps a drawer of every offcut since 2017. Won’t say how many.
Tomás
Reis
Co-founder · books & web
Proofs everything on paper first, including emails.
“They sent the invoice before the first call. We knew exactly what we were buying, and it was worth more.”
Marta Pires
Owner, Pátio
“Ten days, one decision a day. The almanac sold out in nine weeks, and nobody on our side lost a weekend.”
Joana Luz
Editor, Editora Maré
“We paused the retainer over summer and picked it back up in September. No email chain, no penalty.”
Rui Tavares
Founder, Barro
