Twitter gets major redesign to its website, app with new font and other features

San Francisco: Micro-blogging site Twitter has announced its decision to redesign its website and app and is now rolling out its Chirp font to the Twitter app and feed.

"Today, we released a few changes to the way Twitter looks on the web and on your phone. While it might feel weird at first, these updates make us more accessible, unique and focused on you and what you are talking about," the company wrote on the platform on Wednesday.

The company detailed the Chirp font as one part of a broader brand refresh, unveiled in January, and now it said that it is ready to be used.

"In January, we revealed our new font, Chirp -- and it's ready for you to use today," it added.

The company mentioned that all Western-language text now aligns left, making it easier to read as you scroll. Non-Western languages remain unchanged.

Earlier this month, the micro-blogging site has shut down its Instagram Stories-like 'Fleets' feature. Fleets were disappearing tweets that sat in a row at the top of users' Twitter handles on smartphones, which expired after 24 hours.

The micro-blogging site had also added multiple new features to the Fleets including the possibility of adding GIFs, stickers, change the text colour and more.

Further, from August 3 onwards active Spaces which are live audio chat rooms were made available to the Twitter users at the top of their timelines, a previous report said.
