Typographic notes and editorial principles.
Notes on how this publication is built, the typography it uses, and the editorial principles that shape it.
01 · Colour
Bordeaux on warm-white. A single signature accent, no gradients, never pure white.
02 · Typography
A single serif for display and body — Fraunces. Inter for interface, navigation and metadata only.
Families03 · Spacing
An 8-point scale. Section padding is the largest unit; it does the heavy editorial work.
04 · Principles
Argue, don't describe
Every piece is a position we are willing to defend. Taste as criterion, not preference.
No scores
We do not review, rank or award stars. No prices in editorial content.
A single accent
Bordeaux marks titles, links and the wordmark. Never more than one full-bleed section per page.
No icons unless functional
If a glyph isn’t load-bearing, remove it. The numeral is №, never "No." or "#".
Show, don't declare
The posture is embodied in the work, not announced. Photography is authored, or an honest placeholder.
Bilingual without compromise
IT/EN paired. The English is reconstructed, not machine-translated: it receives the same care as the original.
Set in Fraunces & Inter.
