Twitter’s new X logo wasn’t made by an in-house designer. It’s from an old podcast hosted by one of the cult that Elon took from his replies.

    Not to defend musk, but it’s not from one specific font. The logo is just Unicode char 1D54F, a blackboard bold X/“MATHEMATICAL DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL X”

      A character is nothing without a font though. When you look at a character on-screen, it’s being rendered in a specific font. Typing that Unicode character in “Special Alphabets 4” produces the image in question.
