Foam is a photography magazine which is very nicely designed. Obviously a regular and consistent grid is stuck to and typography is logical and well executed.
Like ride some fairly experimental type is used for headings, however what I believes makes it work for foam and not for ride is that 1. its consistent; in that its the same typeface thats used all the way through. 2. its given space to breath, set with plenty of white space the letters become a feature in themselves rather than in Ride where they feel like they are distracting and make the spreads feel cluttered.
White spaces is also used very effectively to draw you eyes into the important information.
What is on the pages is clearly rigorously considered, only the necessary information is included meaning there is no 'noise' and therefore very effective communication.
