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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
