If you are logged into Twitter from desktop, you may notice that the font has changed while browsing the posts on the social media platform. This small but noticeable change did not go unnoticed by many users. As a result of a quick search on Twitter, it was seen that there were many people who noticed the change.
DID NOT EXPLAIN
It’s unclear why Twitter changed the font, The Verge reported. The company did not make any statements and did not post anything on the account with the username @TwitterSupport, where it shares updates about many of its products.
Journalist Tony Webster said, “I can’t blame Twitter for changing the fonts because I once repainted my living room when my life was turned upside down.” He shared the form.
I can’t blame Twitter for changing fonts, because I, too, once repainted my entire living room when my life was falling apart.

WHY DID TWITTER CHANGE THE FONT?
Some people think that Twitter changed the font to make it easier to detect fake accounts. Writer Molly White noticed that zeros passed through them with a slash. In addition, it was found that the new font has features that make it easier to tell the difference between uppercase i and lowercase l letters.
