We investigate harmonic forms of geometrically formal metrics, which are defined as those having the exterior product of any two harmonic forms still harmonic. We prove that a formal Sasakian metric can exist only on a real cohomology sphere and that holomorphic forms of a formal K\"ahler metric are parallel w.r.t. the Levi-Civita connection. In the general Riemannian case a formal metric with maximal second Betti number is shown to be flat. Finally we prove that a six-dimensional manifold with $b_1 \neq 1, b_2 \geqslant 2$ and not having the cohomology algebra of $\mathbb{T}^3 \times S^3$ carries a symplectic structure as soon as it admits a formal metric.
