If Twitter looks a little bit different today, it’s likely due to the new typeface the site has rolled out. Say goodbye to tried-and-true Helvetica Neue and hello to Gotham.

Ugh, they switched over to Gotham Narrow.. Font feels like a restaurant w/the giant white plates with a tiny swoosh of food on it.
