The micro-blogging and social media site Twitter has been rolling out several changes to its web and mobile apps to make the screen look less cluttered and simple to use. As per the company, the design changes make the platform more accessible and unique. The new changes include a new font which the company is called 'Chirp'.
The said font is a mix of American Gothic and European Grotesque styles. This font comes as Twitter's first-ever proprietary font and aims to bring specific personality and distinctiveness to the platform. It was developed in partnership with Switzerland's Grilli Type Foundry.
