Twitter, the micro-blogging website unveiled a new design for its website on Tuesday including a new Chirp font, tweaks to interface colours, high contrast buttons and less visual clutter. The key change is the company’s new font called ‘Chirp’. Previously, the company used other fonts such as Roboto, Helvetica Neue and SF Pro and now it has come up with its own font. The Chirp font was unveiled in January this year and it is now ready for the users. With the new Chirp font, all Western-language text now aligns left, making it easier to read as users scroll their Twitter feed. Non-Western languages remain unchanged.

The micro-blogging website will also roll out new colours soon, giving its users a fresh palette. The buttons on Twitter are in high contrast too, including the ‘Follow’ button. This makes the most important actions taken by users stand out.
Moreover, Twitter has cleaned up a lot of visual clutter which the company refers to as unnecessary divider lines and fewer grey backgrounds. The company has also increased space to make the text easier to read. According to the micro-blogging website, this is only the start of more visual updates.
