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.

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.

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 :sob:
