Implies
- Font:
- Display: high-contrast display serif, large and dramatic — e.g. GT Sectra, Tiempos Headline, Domaine Display, Canela, Ogg, Reckless, Tobias Frere-Jones Mallory
- Body: transitional or old-style serif at 18-20px — e.g. Tiempos Text, Lyon Text, Mercury Text, GT Sectra Text, Source Serif 4, Charter
- Accent: small-caps grotesk for section labels and bylines — e.g. Söhne Schmal, GT America Mono, Tiempos Headline small-caps
- Color:
- Temperature: neutral-warm
- Palette: near-white paper + ink-black + ONE editorial accent (often issue-specific) — #f8f6f1 / #1a1a1a / accent varies per article (deep red #8b2222, ochre #c08a3e, or magazine-blue #1e3a8a)
- Background: #f8f6f1 or #fbf9f4 (warm magazine paper) — pure white only acceptable for full-bleed photo background
- Density: dramatic contrast — display 96-160px against body 18-20px (5-8x ratio), line-height 1.15 on display and 1.55 on body, paragraph spacing 1.5em
- Layout: asymmetric multi-column (2-col article body, 1-col pull-quotes spanning, full-bleed photo breaks), drop cap on first paragraph, side-note margins on desktop, photo essays with caption-credit pairs
- Imagery: commissioned editorial photography (not stock), full-bleed image breaks every 3-5 paragraphs, photo credits in small caps below image, illustration as feature-piece anchor
- Motion: minimal but intentional — fade-in on scroll for images, parallax for hero photo OK, no scroll-jacking, no carousel-on-hover
