Arby's Playing With Their Food Was A Saucy AF™ Move

I can only imagine all of the sauce packets used and thrown trying to get just the perfect letterform.

Arby's has been playing with their food in their latest posts on social media, and it's lead to new territory, especially for fast-food chains.

On May 16, Arby's released a video on their Facebook debuting the new font they created for their brand. This instantly caught my eye because I guess you could say I'm a font enthusiast.

What I mean by font enthusiast is that I can call out poor font choices and have a decent eye for knowing what looks good in the context it dwells in.

How fun is this idea, though? Arby's has got to be the first fast-food brand to create their own font with their own food, and play it up in a way that is still appetizing to the audience.

What's even cooler is that they're not keeping the font all to themselves. They put the link on their website, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram bio so anyone at all can download their font and use it for themselves. Guess what I've already done?

Yep. It's in my downloads file now.

I'm sure the creative team at Fallon's agency had a lot of fun with this one. I can only imagine all of the saucy packets used and thrown trying to get just the perfect letterform for the video, let alone for the style guide so the font can be shared with the rest of the world.

I do wonder how much time it took to get the perfect letterforms, though. They really went all out including the symbols, too. I'm sure more will come from AdAge or Ad Week once this story expands some more.

Arby's has already implemented their saucy logo to all of their social sites, so it'll be interesting to see if they use it in future commercials and campaigns. I hope they hold onto this new font because I believe it gives them a leg up on their competitors. Everyone loves a brand that has something that makes them stand out, and I think Arby's new Saucy AF™ font will get them there. This surely won't be forgotten.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
