More tweet-based journalism. Isn't there a better article somewhere that actually shows the font?


As you said, it is tweet-based. About a font on Twitter. The Tweets in the article show the font.


I have no way of knowing if this was rolled out to 100% of users, or if they updated their embedded tweets to use the font.

But more importantly I just want to see a side-by-side comparison.


Not only that, but when they inevitably change the font again, it would be nice to be able to read a then-old article to see what the font looked like when it was announced.


Must depend on your device as the tweets are using Proxima Nova for me.

edit: although if I click into the tweets and view them on Twitter, it then uses Chirp.



I wonder how many lapsed twitter users started using again after reading this, BECAUSE of this.
