Twitter has improved the experience of its users with a newly implemented font and icons, Chronicle NG has observed.
The social media giant made the changes some minutes ago. The new Twitter font is Arial Bold and it appears to be size 10 or 11.
The change in icons brings it pretty close to what we have on Instagram
The Retweet, Follow and Like buttons now have something I will call a ‘sex appeal’.
The same is applicable Home, Notification and Messages have also been modified.
The icons are easy-on-the-eye and have got some captivating tilt to it.

Put simply, Twitter has gone from Square to Circle or maybe curvy.
I want to believe that this new features were designed to improve the user experience on the micro-blogging site.
