Why is TikTok's new font driving users crazy? Exploring platform's latest tweaks

TikTok's new font change has been met with serious criticism from its loyal users

Almost everyone is using TikTok - for its fun challenges, the hilarious skits, or for status-worthy videos one can share. A dominant player in the social media scene, the platform has always tried to adapt itself to the changing times with new features and even the occasional aesthetic change-up. However, the platform's minor cosmetic tweaks are not always well-received by its users.

While TikTok aims to enhance the app experience through the updates, some changes fail to align with the expectations of its user base. Its recent attempt to enhance its aesthetic appeal through a modification has backfired, with many users being very vocal about their dissatisfaction. While the change may have gone unnoticed by casual users, loyal followers are up in arms.

Has TikTok's font changed?

Some users have observed a slight variation in the font across devices. It remains uncertain whether the change has been rolled out universally or only to a specific group of users. The new font differs from the previous one when comparing the letters' proximity, which has been reduced. Besides, there's also a slight slimming of the letters.

The changes in the font are so insignificant that many users have already switched to the new font without noticing any difference. However, if you are the type of person who observes every little detail, you might experience frustration once you spot the change. The minute nature of the change may also make you feel like you may be imagining things, further amplifying your annoyance.

'Ugly ass font'

Users took to Twitter to express their feelings as they noticed the slight change in the font. Scroll down to find some of the reactions.

Why you might not have seen the new font yet

Given the outrageous reaction to TikTok's font change, it may be better to avoid hurrying to check it out. If you are curious, however, make sure you have the newest version of the app installed on your phone.

Remember that the new font's deployment may be slow, and it's possible that it won't be available in your region. All you can do is be patient until it's made accessible.
