Step aside Apple (San Francisco), Samsung (SamsungOne), Google (Roboto and Product Sans), Microsoft (sort of with Segoe), Netflix (Netflix Sans), Airbnb (Cereal), Intel (Intel Clear), and every other big tech company with its own bespoke custom font: Arby’s is getting in on the custom font game with its new font, “Saucy_AF™,” as spotted by FastCo Design.

Described as “the ink of the sandwich world,” Arby’s is positioning Saucy_AF™ as an alternative to those who lack the skills to write in sauce like the folks behind the very social media savvy Arby’s Twitter account.

Ordinarily, this is the sort of thing that would…

Reddit is finally rolling out a top requested feature among users: native dark mode. In a blog post, the company said the desktop Night Mode theme is now available to everyone after being rolled out to employees for testing a few weeks ago. Night mode offers users a black theme rather than the classic white, and is an option well suited to those who enjoy browsing late into the night.

Reddit notes that Night Mode already exists in its native mobile apps and the old desktop webpage (via the Reddit Enhancement Suite browser extension). The company’s first site redesign in a decade began rolling out last month, with a native Night Mode listed as a “what’s next” feature for the days ahead.

That day has now arrived.

Google has built a multibillion-dollar business out of knowing everything about its users. Now, a video produced within Google and obtained by The Verge offers a stunningly ambitious and unsettling look at how some at the company envision using that information in the future.

The video was made in late 2016 by Nick Foster, the head of design at X (formerly Google X), and shared internally within Google. It imagines a future of total data collection, where Google helps nudge users into alignment with their goals, custom-prints personalized devices to collect more data, and even guides the behavior of entire populations to solve global problems like poverty and disease.

Walmart announced its website was getting an overhaul back in April, and today, it will begin to roll out its new fashion shopping experience, divided into Walmart’s Everyday Brands and Premium Brands from Lord & Taylor for more expensive items.

The premium section will include 125 brands, including Lucky Brand, H Halston, and Effy, while the everyday section will be “part of Walmart.com’s broader fashion destination” and also include items like watches and luggage.

Walmart’s newly redesigned website not only features a cleaner, sleeker design (as seen in the screencap from the fashion section) but personalization for the…

Nothing sells like nostalgia, a look back to the simpler times when our phones had 2G and our computers were made out of bondi-blue plastic. Or, at the very least, that’s what case-maker Spigen is counting on, with its new iPhone X cases that are meant to evoke the design cues of Apple’s original iPhone 2G and iMac G3 devices, as spotted by SlashGear.

Spigen is putting its focus on the iMac G3-inspired case (officially called the Classic C1), which comes in a variety of hues borrowed from Apple’s colorful computers and features a translucent back that reveals faux components on the rear of the case (although it’s worth noting that Spigen seem to have missed the bondi-blue color by a few shades if the press pictures are anything to go…
