# Thanksgiving Food Typography This Food Font by Casey Ligon is Made Out of Thanksgiving Leftovers By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-11-28 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-font References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/370983/Turn-Your-Leftover-Thanksgiving-Food-Into-Delightful-Typographic-Artworks/) & [caseyligon](http://www.caseyligon.com/blog/2014/11/22/thanksgiving-food-type) While some are out there hunting for Thanksgiving leftover recipes, others are using them for more artistic purposes -- such as creating a food font. Designed by letterer Casey Ligon, the Thanksgiving food type is more than typography. The delicious and delightful food font spells out slides used at an all-employee staff meeting. Made out of [turkey stuffing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keoghs-roast-turkey-and-secret-stuffing), nuts, [mashed potatoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turkey-stuffing-chips), gravy and apple pie, the typography uses classic [Thanksgiving food staples](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lie-pie). These images were made as a deck for a meeting at the ad agency Ligon works at. The November slide deck was an opportunity to explore fun content made entirely from Thanksgiving themed food. As such the visual treat has messages like 'New Hires.' ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Food Typography:** Opportunity for restaurants and food companies to use creative typography in their branding and advertising. - **Leftover Art:** Opportunity for artists to use leftovers and food waste for artistic purposes, promoting sustainability. - **Holiday-themed Content:** Opportunity for companies to create engaging content around holiday-specific themes, such as Thanksgiving food art. ### Who This Affects Most - **Advertising:** Opportunity for creative agencies to incorporate food typography in their ad campaigns. - **Food and Hospitality:** Opportunity for restaurants and food companies to use Thanksgiving leftovers in unique and creative ways to attract customers. - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for artists and designers to explore unconventional mediums for their creations, such as food waste and leftovers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Instant Noodle-Crafted Fonts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/times-new-ramen.md) - [Typography Food Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpui.md) - [Leftover Gravy Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leftover-gravy-bottle.md) - [Thanksgiving Instant Ramens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cup-noodles-turkey-dinner.md) - [Holiday Dinner Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-thanksgiving-dinner.md) - [Thanksgiving-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salt-straws-friendsgiving-series.md) - [Vegan Thanksgiving Leftovers Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thanksgiving-leftovers-sandwich.md) - [Squeezable Homestyle Turkey Gravies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homestyle-turkey-gravy.md) - [Holiday-Themed Playful Quizzes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foney-fonts.md)
