Twitter Changed its Font Again

Yes, Twitter has changed its font once again. The changes are subtle. You can see the difference in the curve at the base of the lowercase L’s, the serifs on the uppercase I’s, and the slash through the zeros. Twitter has made some alterations to users’ handles. The change was first reported on by Verge.

It’s unclear why Twitter changed the font, and the company didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment. Surprisingly, the company hasn’t posted anything on @TwitterSupport, where it’s shared a lot of recent product updates.

However, many Twitter users have reported the change. Molly White, the author of Web3 is Going Just Great, noticed that zeroes have a slash through them. It is also easier to tell the difference between an uppercase letter i and a lowercase letter L, meaning that it might now be harder for bad actors to look legit using those tricks.
