        The new font is still so ugly to me.

        Besides everything else that’s ugly about them recently. The shrinking is also embarassing, and the product not as good anymore.

          I don’t see much official about that website. This one seems a bit more legit if you ask me: https://www.mondelezinternational.com/our-brands/toblerone/

          But also feel free to look up their logo change, many websites reported on it.
