Twitter is rolling out several changes to its Web and phone apps to make it look less clutter and simple to use. The design changes help to make Twitter “more accessible, unique, and focussed” for users and what they are talking about.
All the changes include the addition of a new font called Chirp.
This font family was introduce in January and is a mix of American Gothic and European Grotesque styles.
Chirp integrates specific handmade quirks of early woodcut specimens.
Twitter announce the design changes on its Web, Android, and iOS platforms.
The interface colours have been update to offer high contrast and a lot less blue.
This change is made to draw more attention to photos and videos share on the platform.
Twitter says that it is also looking to offer users new palette options, bringing new colour options soon.
Twitter is also introducing new buttons with high contrast to make the “most important actions” stand out.
Changes have been made to the ‘Follow’ button as well.
It is now black in colour and it helps you see what actions you’ve taken at a glance.
The visual clutter has been clean up to make the text easier to read and make media stand out.
Twitter has reduce grey background areas and remove divider lines.
Twitter also increase space between texts for easier reading.
The Chirp font is rolling out for all users on the Web, Android, and iOS apps.
