Pico Black is a heavy, rounded face by Masayuki Sato of Maniackers Design, free for personal use only. Its terms do not let it be passed on, so it is not given here: get it from Maniackers Design. Free for posters, invites and your edits; to sell what you make with it, buy its author’s licence.
Titan One has the fat, round strokes and tight spacing of the old twitter lettering, in capitals and small letters. Use it for anything, even things you sell.

What is the Twitter font?
People mean two things by it. The app's text (Twitter, now called X) uses Chirp, a sans serif made specifically for that service, so it cannot be bought or downloaded here. The old twitter wordmark, small round letters with no capital, is a different matter, and the closest font we found for it is Pico Black, by Masayuki Sato of Maniackers Design.
Pico Black’s terms forbid redistribution, which is why this Twitter font page doesn't offer it. Titan One, created by Rodrigo Fuenzalida, shares the same chunky, rounded letterforms and is released at no cost under the SIL Open Font License: this Twitter font page uses it, and it has no link to Twitter’s official typeface.
The old twitter wordmark
The old wordmark spells twitter in small letters only: fat, round and tight, with no capital and no outline. Twitter blue is #1DA1F2, the color the bird wore until Twitter became X.
With the Logo background set to Solid, your text appears in Twitter blue over near-black #14171A, and it is always lowercase. Glow casts a blue halo around the letters, Paper places them on a light parchment-like sheet, and Clear keeps just the lettering for overlaying on a photo.
Make a Twitter header in Canva
Enter your username or a brief phrase in the field at the top of this Twitter font page, and leave the Logo background on Solid for blue text on a near-black backdrop.
Save the picture, then start a design of 1500 × 500 pixels in Canva, the size of a Twitter header.
Send in the image to use exactly as it comes, or export it on Clear so it can sit over a photo you pick.
Download the design as a PNG and upload it in your profile settings as the header.
Where people use it
Your picture is an image, so it goes on a header or a thumbnail, or beside a tweet as a picture, not inside its text. For styled letters in a bio or a post, try a bold text generator.
Headers and banners for a Twitter or X profile
Thumbnails for videos about tweets, threads and tech news
A title picture for the first tweet of a thread
Slides and posters for school projects about social media
“Follow us” signs and cards with a handle, for clubs, shops and events
Questions
What font does the Twitter app use?
Chirp, a sans serif custom-designed for Twitter, now X. It is made for the platform, not sold or given as a font, so it is not on this page.
What is the closest font to the Twitter logo?
For the retired lowercase logotype, Pico Black came closest in our search, yet it is licensed for personal use only and may not be redistributed. This Twitter font page offers Titan One in its place, a typeface just as bold and rounded that is free for any use.
Is the Twitter font free to download?
Chirp is not offered for download. Pico Black is free for personal use, and its maker may charge for commercial use. Titan One, the typeface used on this page, can be used for any purpose at no charge under the SIL Open Font License.
Can I sell things made with the Twitter font?
With Titan One, yes: its terms let you sell creations made with it, provided the words are your own. The Twitter name, the bird and the old wordmark stay X Corp’s, so do not copy them onto a product.
How do I change the font in a tweet?
You can’t change the app’s font. The bold, script and gothic text in tweets is made of Unicode characters, pasted in from a tool such as copy and paste fonts. A styled letter can count as two of the 280 characters, search may not find it, and screen readers may read it badly.
