They need to separate the letters by at least one pixel, it would make such a difference. But honestly, I feel like there should be an option to change the font back to the default in the settings.

I’m glad I have a larger monitor, but people on smaller screens are either gonna need to turn up the zoom on the page or lean in.

The font is skinnier and thinner, it needs to be spaced and sized more.

This font is less readable, I am not the biggest fan of this change.

Not a fan at all.
The font is too thin, and too light, it’s almost unreadable. You have to really squint at it to read it.
Additionally, when compared to the current Roblox Logo, the change is WAY too drastic. Considering the old font matched the logo really well, it now looks as if there’s a glitch with the website, and the font hasn’t been loaded in properly.
One area of the site that looks particularly bad is the Robux Counter. The font is especially bad here it’s almost impossible to read how much you have because of how squashed together the numbers are.
Overall though, I’d have to say that spaces where large amounts of texts are shown, like Group Descriptions, Game Descriptions, etc, look the worst. The font overall just generally looks like it should be there. It doesn’t fit with the Roblox theme at all, nevermind being hard to read.

The new font is unreadable, is Roblox going to listen to its community for once?
- Too thin
- Too small
- Ugly
- Doesn’t match the modern style AT ALL
For the sake of everyone, please get a new font similar to Gotham SSm, there are many free fonts out there that y’all can use. Roblox is slowly becoming worse and worse
“You are depreciating two of the highest-used fonts in Roblox ever”
This is a super important quote. Montserrat is really different from Gotham SSm in every way. 90% if not 98% of my UIs from 2020 to today use Gotham as the main font.
Yeah no, I don’t know who at Roblox approved this. The community is obviously unhappy with this decision, why can’t Roblox spare a couple of bucks for the license? Isn’t Roblox a multi-billionaire company??

Don’t have much to say, but this just looks bad. If anyone has a TamperMonkey script or a Stylus theme to return the old font, that’d be lit!

i thought i was zoomed out on my browser or something, or going crazy the new font looks so squished (horizontally)
for the group owner name, the space between the letters is literally < 1 pixel

I don’t think this new font achieves what you thought it did Roblox…

Respectfully, this change is not good, to put it mildly; the font is compressed, borderline unreadable (especially for those with less than stellar vision), skinnier/thinner, and extremely inconsistent.

Introducing Builder Font + Deprecating Gotham and Arial - #271 by MCWither_Storm
With the introduction of our new font family, we will be removing the Gotham & Arial fonts from Roblox by the end of May. We will update you on the exact date in the near future.
This is just… a terrible idea. For starters, games w/ these existing typefaces may have to completely rework their UI.
this looks awful why would you do this

The old font made Roblox look professional and now it seems a bit odd…

I agree; also Arial is one of the most widely used fonts on the entire internet…
Making a Stylus theme is pretty easy, just set all .builder-font classes font-family to HCo Gotham SSm,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif
