# Editorial Design > "The digital magazine. Sophisticated typography pairings and deliberate, elegant pacing." ## When to Use Use this sub-style when the user's request matches the aesthetic described above. This is a child reference of the `design-it` skill and is not meant to be triggered directly. ## Core Principles 1. **Serif & Sans-Serif Pairing**: The hallmark of editorial design. A beautiful, high-contrast serif for headings, paired with a clean sans-serif for body copy. 2. **Large Drop Caps & Pull Quotes**: Typographic flourishes that guide the eye and break up long blocks of text. 3. **Columnar Layouts**: Content flows in distinct columns, often with fine lines (rules) separating them. ## Visual DNA - **Colors**: **Modern Editorial** or **Yacht Club**. Warm, paper-like backgrounds with deep, ink-like blacks or navy blues. - **Typography**: - Headlines: `Playfair Display`, `Merriweather`, `Bodoni`. - Body: `Lato`, `Open Sans`, `Source Sans Pro`. - **Borders**: Thin, elegant horizontal lines (hairlines) used to separate sections. ## Web Implementation - **CSS Example**: ```css body { background-color: #F9F9F9; /* Paper white */ color: #121212; /* Ink black */ } /* Typography

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill editorial-design --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
