A strong visual language
The identity is built around a single typographic idea. The name translates literally as "The Space of Time" — and the horizontal line in the logo represents the space the word tempo occupies. Time made visible as form.

Context
The project involved a full rethink of the visual language, including a new brand identity.O Espaço do Tempo is a performing arts residency based in Montemor-o-Novo, Portugal, supporting experimental performance for over 26 years. The project involved a full rethink of their visual identity and website — from brand concept through to implementation.
The goal was to reflect the experimental and physical nature of the work: bold, unapologetic, alive. The challenge was to make something that felt as intense as the performances without losing usability..
Color and contrast explorations
Several color combinations were explored before landing on the electric blue and pink palette used in the final identity. The system needed to work across multiple background colors while maintaining the same visual intensity.
The Result
A website that feels like the institution — raw, energetic, and uncompromising. The typographic system, color blocks, and photography work together to create an immersive experience that still keeps navigation clear and content accessible.
