I think it's just a way to write "It will" in a way that reflects the fact sometimes the first unstressed vowel is not pronounced in fast casual speech.

I'd say that would usually be written with an apostrophe:
'twill
That's not a contraction that you're likely to hear anyone use nowadays in everyday English.

Hi,
In written form, 'tis more or less archaic.
Here is Mercutio, in 'Romeo and Juliet', commenting on his fatal wound.
'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church
door; but 'tis enough, 'twill serve. Ask for me to-morrow,
and you shall find me a grave man.
Best wishes, Clive
