Mumbai: For now, the Twitter feed of each user is the same. But what isn’t, are the colour option, buttons, fonts and more. The website has unveiled new changes designed to enhance the microblogging experience. Twitter revealed an updated web font intended to improve ‘speed and readability’, more colour options on user profiles, and new buttons on profile pages to send tweets or direct messages to another user.
This web font switch, back to a sans-serif system default font (Arial on Windows, Helvetica Neue on OS X and Droid Sans on Android), is a backtrack from the company's decision a few months ago to use Gotham Narrow, a change that was met with mixed reactions at the time. aSome users are already voicing their displeasure, with most of their ire directed at the new font, but that is only expected. Just a week earlier, Twitter’s sign-up page went through a major design tweak, which according to the company, took over a month to work on.
