Ala Font

Ala, by David Buis, is a free high-contrast serif with a cool editorial poise. Its letters mix hairline strokes with heavy vertical weight, giving the font a crisp fashion-magazine feel, while the compact lowercase and tall proportions keep it feeling refined rather than ornate.

It fits naturally in branding, book covers, magazine mastheads, poster titles, and packaging where a little drama helps. As a free font, Ala also works well for short headlines, monograms, and title cards, because those stark thick-thin shifts give even a few letters a composed, upscale presence.
