Updated title to reflect description. I'm very +1 on using the system document font instead of the UI font.

On elementary, this is Droid Sans. While this is fine for normal UI elements (buttons, menus, etc.) with shorter text, it's not the best for longer messages like tweets. Additionally, it doesn't have multiple weights to play with nor does it have a true italic. Instead, we should either use the platform ocument font (Open Sans on elementary), or something a little prettier. The new Twitter app on Android actually uses a much lighter weight typeface which looks super slick, so perhaps we could look into that.
