We&#8217;ve reviewed Chirp, Roboto, Akkurat, and Segoe UI fonts, and will discuss how you can use them to make your posts look great. You can also see a comparison of those fonts to Twitter&#8217;s current font. Read on to find out which one you like best! You&#8217;ll be amazed!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chirp\"><\/span>Chirp<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Twitter has recently made a change to its font. It&#8217;s now using a new font, called Chirp. This typeface is meant to look like a hand-cut wood block. Twitter&#8217;s creative director, Derrit DeRouen, first suggested that the new font be used on the site in January, but didn&#8217;t say when that would happen. If you&#8217;re using Twitter, you&#8217;re probably already aware of Chirp, and have likely already begun noticing it.<\/p>\n<p>While Twitter&#8217;s new font is definitely a welcome change, it has some downsides. The new font is not as readable as some users would like. The spacing around the letters is also a problem. Users will have to scroll further to read tweets and replies. In addition, Twitter&#8217;s new font will make it harder to tag people. This is a common design issue with many other fonts. If you&#8217;re concerned about this, you should try using Chirp on Twitter.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Roboto\"><\/span>Roboto<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you open up a tweet on Twitter, you will notice a custom font called Chirp. This font combines elements of European Grotesque and American Gothic, with slightly jagged edges. Twitter used to display tweets in the San Francisco font on iOS and Android, and Segoe font on Windows. But the company changed its font again, this time with a custom Chirp font. The company promises to roll out new design features soon.<\/p>\n<p>The Roboto typeface is a sans-serif family with a modern aesthetic appeal. It comes in six weights and has a natural outlook. It is designed by Steve Matteson and was released in 2011. Its style is a blend of neutrality, friendliness, and open forms. The lowercase letters are tall, and the upright stress adds to their overall look. The Roboto family comes with matching italics.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Akkurat\"><\/span>Akkurat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Akkurat font is a highly popular sans-serif face created by Laurenz Brunner. It was released in 2004 by font foundary Lineto and has been used extensively by various design companies since then. The font is heavily featured in the Phaidon Archive of Graphic Design and Baseline Magazine, and was used as the primary face of the latter&#8217;s website. It has also been used in Joost Grootens&#8217; 2005 Metropolitan Word Atlas. As of today, it is a popular choice among designers and is used in websites and blogs worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to its widespread use on social networking sites, Akkurat is an excellent alternative for Roboto on Android. It is part of the sans-serif font family and is similar to Roboto in appearance. The older DIN font is also a good choice, as it&#8217;s suitable for both technical and casual posts on Twitter. But if you&#8217;re looking for a more traditional font, you might want to consider Roboto.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Segoe_UI\"><\/span>Segoe UI<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The new Twitter UI font has caused quite a stir. While some users dislike it, most don&#8217;t. As Twitter has been making changes to its UI for a long time, it was about time they did the same with their font. Segoe is more stylized than Helvetica, but it&#8217;s not as unisex as Apple&#8217;s San Francisco. Twitter is still a popular service, but it should reconsider changing its font.<\/p>\n<p>While social media platforms are constantly being updated to keep their users happy, it can&#8217;t hurt to try something new every now and then. Twitter recently updated its font and added support for ligature. Chirp replaces the previous Segoe UI font and is designed for a sexier look. This change has prompted Twitter users to share their thoughts on the new font. If you&#8217;re one of these people, you may be interested in trying it out for yourself.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Open_Sans\"><\/span>Open Sans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to use Open Sans font on Twitter, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. This humanist sans serif font is great for social media posts, and pairs well with other type styles set in headers. This font family also comes in a variety of weights. You can use Open Sans on Twitter if you&#8217;d like to keep your content simple, but if you&#8217;d like to stand out in a crowd, you should consider using a more elaborate typeface.<\/p>\n<p>There are many ways to change the default font for Twitter. Fortunately, the font is widely available in the Mac App Store. On Android and Mac, Twitter uses Roboto. On Windows, Twitter uses Helvetica Neue and Segoe UI. You&#8217;ll find many other options if you want a more modern font for Twitter. But if you want to change the default font on your Mac, Open Sans might be the way to go.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"margin: 0px auto; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T91NNoP1bqo\" width=\"476\" height=\"266\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Font is Twitter&#8217;s UI?
