It reminds me of a rough version of Trajan. Doesn't necessarily seem like something I've seen used in fashion. Fashion tends to be more in the realm of Didoni or Memoriam, a bit more contrasty I think.

It doesn't look like Trajan at all. I guess you're making that association because you're only seeing capital letters and they have a large x-height.

I've never seen Memoriam in use, actually. I frequently buy fashion magazines and keep track of several major fashion labels, and Didot, Bodoni and Avant Garde Gothic are used extensively in fashion. So you're right; fashion does make use of typefaces with a high contrast. This regular Célente will be useful for book text and headings. Célente light will have a higher contrast.

On an other note, I made the presentation at work today on a Mac. Now I look at it at home on a PC. it looks horrible. I might replace it with a more appropriate presentation, though I guess the typeface is up so that's what counts.

It is quite a bit like a more rigid Trajan. The swash-like tail of the Q and similar strokes on the R, K, and J especially. It's interesting though, that while some of the aspects are more formal looking than Trajan (the straighter lines, the more consistent character width and serif size), others are more whimsical, like the S, C, and the alternate, rounded G. Meanwhile, Trajan breaks from rigidity on characters that Celente leaves formal, like the M, N, and P.

I think the short, blunt serifs work well for it, especially as a body font. It still retains its elegance and class, too. The thing is, if it is going to be a body font, it might be best to tone down the swash-like strokes in favor of something more consistent and reserved. On the other hand, if it is something that is to be used in titling, maybe those whimsical aspects of the font should be played up, and you should make the widths more varied. (Leave the Z, O and Q wide and adjust some others to break the box as well).

On that note, for a whimsical title font, the S is great. It has a sense of dimensionality.

Anyway, those are my thoughts about it. Good luck finishing it.

Thanks a lot for your opinion. There will actually be a book version (as shown) and a regular version which will have a higher contrast. When I finally finish the whole family I will continue with a sans-serif version and a version with extended serifs. I took the serifs off and the result is a beautiful narrow humanist sans-serif.

thanks to enlighten us the ind=formation about the narrow , modern fashion type face
the Bargain Barn yarn so much beautiful look..awwww after washing?they will turn into cloths like cashmere sport jacket , ties pants shirts, etc the colorful rolls are ready to fix on the wallpaper.....
