beau ideal
Flawless model type
Beau ideal is the perfect example or model of something—the highest standard to which others aspire: She was the beau ideal of Victorian womanhood.
The French phrase literally means "ideal beauty," but in English it applies to any idealized type, not just appearance: His writing became the beau ideal for a generation of journalists.
