Thanks to both @padraig and @Gwendolyn for identifying Monotype’s ‘Special Alphabets 4’ as the source of 𝕏 (ex-Twitter)’s new logo
Curious to know how you both identified this particular san serif font as the victim of Musk’s letter theft – especially as Musk’s logo (second image) is stretched vertically in comparison with the SA4 uppercase X (left in first image) – and the ratio of the stroke width to the width of the enclosed bar is very different (c.0.55 vs c.0.7)
@transponderings@padraig@Gwendolyn It is part of many fonts, being a standard Unicode character: 𝕏, the "mathematical double-struck capital X" (U+1D54F).
@transponderings@padraig Maybe I'm missing something because I'm not really sure what's being asked.
I don't know shit about fonts. I just see the same design. Slight tweaking of width, height, or line thickness doesn't really concern me as that can be played with in any editing software.
My eyes saw the logo. They saw the font. I decided they looked the same. That's about the extent of my reasoning.
