Twitter Logo Font Revealed

What about the letter E? It doesn’t match that of the Twitter logo. Did the Twitter designers draw the letter E themselves?

Could very well be that they created their own “e” yes.

I like the little cartoon kind of a kitsch mix of colonel sanders and mario.

@BolClock If you look carefully at the ‘e’ in the Twitter logo, the weight/stroke isn’t consistent with the other characters, so I reckon they did rec-create it.

@angie they totally need to integrate that mario-like dude into the twitter branding. Like, make it the twitter bird’s owner or something!

Yeah, there has been many fonts suggested. However, the word is that it IS this one however some letters have been modified to fit their need.

Looks similar. @Richard Darell: You say that the ‘word’ is that this is the font Twitter used, but who started the ‘word’? If it’s not from Twitter can they really be trusted?

The source of this is several websites which I don’t have time to list here. But I believe it is the closest any font has come to be proven to be the real one. But do a search on Google.com and you will get more sources than you think. lol

Nice post. Always love your info. May I point out a typo? The second “there” should “their” in the first sentence.

[Reply]

I thought it was either the chicken font or closest I have seen is Tondo all though I think both might actually be ‘after’ Twitter was set up.

“e” and Capital “T” don’t make the cut, sorry. Even the small “t” is slightly off the cross is a bit to high. Very similar font though.

I justed asked a friend who is a Systems engineer at Twitter. It’s not a font. It was drawn, there are EPS and AIs available on their website.
