Twitter Rolls Out New Chirp Font High Contrast Colors To Web And Mobile Apps

If you are a regular Twitter user, you might have noticed several visual changes in the platform today. After shutting down Fleets, Twitter has now refreshed its website and app design in an attempt to improve accessibility. The changes include an in-house Chirp font, high contrast colors in the interface and buttons, and fewer gray backgrounds.

Twitter revealed its new Chirp font earlier this year in January. The company is now rolling it out to users. According to Twitter, the new font makes it easier to read tweets as you scroll. This is not applicable to non-western languages though.
