Twitter working to fix issue with Chirp font on Windows 10

Last week Twitter started rolling out its new Chirp font beyond its apps, including the one on Windows 10. While Twitter designed the font to be legible and have good density, an issue on Windows x made characters hard to read. Twitter has identified the issue and is working on a fix.

When the Chirp font rolled out to Windows 10, many complained on the web about its legibility. Twitter user Soilleir chosen it "basically illegible" and compared its characters to blobs.

We've identified issues with the Chirp font for Windows users and are actively working on a set. Cheers for your patience and please permit us know if you have additional feedback.

While the consequence on Windows ten appears to make the Chirp font look worse than Twitter wants it to, many dislike the design of the font, even when rendered properly.

It's still painful. I desire an anti-aliased font, not a "make clean edged" font that belongs on printed paper. I'k ill of print typographer purists imposing their aesthetic sense on digital products. Not a single person on this font has experience in digital typography/ why

The Chirp font is too monotonous and makes information technology difficult to read. x-height too seems to be small.

Why not requite users the choice of selecting their own font? There are enough on Google Fonts.

Many have asked Twitter to give more font options on the platform.
