Twitter's new font "Chirp" appears to be white-labeled GT America.
Chirp matches 1:1 to GT America, both created by @grillitype except for letter-spacing. Oh and they changed square dots to circles.

You can grab a trial version of GT America from the Grilli Type directly - grillitype.com/typeface/gt-a… Or play with both fonts here - twitterfont.vercel.app/
@wongmjane might find this interesting. Or probably already knows this. Most probably the latter.
The "we" in the second paragraph, as written, refers to Twitter. GT America was released in 2016, and has a similar typographical background. I think some copy/pasted a blurb from GT and forgot to edit it.
Atleast Pinterest insisted on changing *just-enough*. Pinterest UI Regular v GT Walsheim. grillitype.com/commissions/p…
And they're both ugly. Sorry @Twitter … actually, no I'm not, because I don't see this 'Chirp' abomination any more.
Presumably excluding the PUA glyphs :X
So, Twitter's new font has some Private Use Area glyphs (logos) available in general text. This is bad. This is turning the text into an ephemeral experience. This text will lose meaning off of Twitter, or after Twitter gets rid of Chirp. "I like to use "
That would be the "perfect balance of messy and sharp"
Any reason why they would have done that? A product related tweak?
why do they feel so different then …
