The 'brand' needs to differentiate, though. And if Facebook's empire does it, so must Twitter.
It seems like when you're VC-backed and get to a certain size, one of the items on the checklist is "design custom font that looks like every other VC-backed platform's custom font, but is slightly different."
Didn't Dropbox also make their own font?
- dunnevens 5y agoYou are correct. They did make their own font. Which seemed like a very strange expense to me. Even though I use Dropbox heavily, I'll almost never see their font. Dropbox is used mostly through the OS's file manager.
