The magazine was very creative in terms of graphic design and its design is regarded as one of the significant projects in the Brazilian press of the 1960s. The covers of Senhor were produced by well known artists, including artist Carlos Scliar and caricaturist Jaguar. The latter also served as the main caricaturist of the magazine. Regular contributors were Paulo Francis, Armando Nogueira, Luiz Lobo, Clarice Lispector,Otto Lara Resende, Carlos Heitor Cony, Graciliano Ramos, Rubem BragaJorge Amado and Carlos Drummond de Andrade.
Senhor's target audience was the Brazilian upper-classes with higher levels of education. The magazine featured articles concerning literature, visual arts, society and politics. The novella by Jorge Amado, The Two Deaths of Quincas Wateryell, was first published in the inauguration issue of Senhor, which was later published as a book. Various stories of Clarice Lispector were also first published in the magazine, including Uma grama de radium-Mineirinho in 1962.
