Old post
Yeah, I just noticed this. For a second I thought the fonts weren’t loading, but then it just stayed like that. If this stays longer than 1 week it’s permanent (in which case, Roblox please change it back, it’s ugly, and hard to read), but if it changes back it was probably a bug.
EDIT: I will make an extension that will revert this change. It will be done soon (a week or 2, no clue), and I’ll post about it. I’ll post about it when it’s a little more useful, and better looking.
RobloxFontChangeRevert.zip (3.1 KB)
The long awaited (for one day) extension!!
I promise the extension will be better soon, it looks horrible right now, but it’s what I could make in a day with how busy I am.
To install:
-
On Chrome/Firefox/Edge, enable developer mode.
-
Unzip the “RobloxFontChangeRevert.zip” file.
-
In the manage extension section of your browser, click “Load unpacked”
-
Select “RobloxFontChangeRevert.zip”, and boom!
Once again, this extension is VERY basic, but I will add on to it for funzies!
NOTE: If you want to check the source code for viruses, right click the pop up, and click “Inspect”. From there, go to “Sources”, and you can view the code. Virustotal links it as a false positive, so I’ll fix that too. (Probably because it’s changing something on a website)
I will work on this too, but for now I hope you enjoy my extension!!
Edit: This thing is gonna get updated I swear (8/5/2024)

They have to do it. The font they used before (Gotham) is a licensed font and they apparently can’t afford it. Same goes for Arial.

Is this like the Discord situation again? All hell is about to break loose

Really? where did we get this info?

This is intentional and not a testing phase or bug. Roblox is moving away from the Gotham font and transitioning to their new “Builder” one.

You’ll get used to it, eventually.
It’s the same case as Discord like you mentioned. They changed their font and everyone got used quickly.
Additionally, they also changed their icons more recently and it was quick to get used to it.
This announcement. Font on website is also Builder font in question.

So they just now migrated to this font then?

Yes - likely due to licensing issues. You’ll see it across the Roblox application, Roblox Studio and Creator Hub eventually too.

Yeah, I’ll make a post about it, and PM you. (maybe longer than a week I have no clue how long this will take with school and everything, but I will have it done soon!)

Exactly.
I don’t think it’s bolded correctly and it’s weird to look at. This feels as if the fonts just didn’t load in… it’s also too condensed as you mentioned.

Maybe they actually aren’t? In any case this looks horrible.

This is going to cause an outbreak of chaos to non-developers who don’t think to check the DevForums for things like this. I can already see how twitter is going to react
