A la Mode is a fashion, music and lifestyle magazine based out of Los Angeles, California. A la Mode is shaped by the local community and takes an avant-garde approach. The publication targets hip, young, readers ages 16–30 who appreciate great design, fashion, and music.
To keep their audience engaged and excited, A la Mode issues vary both typography and photographic styles. Expressive typefaces are used to communicate an energetic attitude and personality. Featured photography by Nick Fancher illuminates spreads with vibrant colors and dark monochromatic tones. The typeface used for the body copy, Archer, reels the brand back from its sometimes wild type choices, contributing a balanced temperament.
This publication is punctuated by typographic versatility and colorful, saturated photography. With a consistent, bold masthead the magazine decidedly stands out on the crowded rack. The editorial brand is a quintessential representation of its name with stylistic design trends marked by spontaneity and energy.
