  • In béton brut, the concrete is left unfinished, expressing the pattern left by the formwork.
  • After the casting, concrete will usually have a finishing treatment that smooths its surface, ridding it of any imperfections.
  • Formwork is used in concrete construction as the frame for a structure in which fresh concrete is poured to then harden and take on the desired shape.
  • Aesthetic of concrete surfaces can be varied with different formwork sheathing such as board shuttering, smooth formwork, form liner, form moulds, filter fleeces, etc.
  • When Corbusier coined the term, he was specifically responding to board-marked concrete, which he used to construct many of his post-World War II buildings.
  • When the formwork is lined with wood it is called board form. When lumber is used to create the formwork, the concrete picks up the grain structure as it sets, resulting in a texture on the poured concrete that resembles the wood.
  • It is important to use the same type of wood throughout the job, especially on larger buildings where the molds may get repeated uses, because the lumber can absorb moisture, which may possibly affect the color of the concrete. Other raw patterns can be created by using textured metal formwork, or having the aggregate bush or pick hammered.[9] Wood-imprinted concrete is still popular in landscaping, especially in some western European countries.

Typeface Information

Firmin Didot’s introduction of Didot in 1784 is considered to be the first truly modern typeface and was certainly the most spartan serif at the time. Since that time there have been numerous interpretations of his work, some more noteworthy than others. WTF Didot is a brutalist look at what makes a Didot typeface, inspired by American high-contrast stencils.

Despite the original metal type Didot being available in several optical sizes it’s rare to see a modern rendition with more than one or two optical sizes. To allow for the perfect stroke thickness WTF Didot is designed to be variable and has 7 built-in optical sizes.

42 Styles:

Book (144, 89, 55, 34, 21, 13, 8), Book Italic (144, 89, 55, 34, 21, 13, 8), Medium (144, 89, 55, 34, 21, 13, 8), Medium Italic (144, 89, 55, 34, 21, 13, 8), Bold (144, 89, 55, 34, 21, 13, 8), Bold Italic (144, 89, 55, 34, 21, 13, 8)
