Discord fonts

Discord's markdown only works in messages. For your display name, server nicknames, About me and custom status, these Unicode styles do the job instead: 𝔑𝔦𝔤𝔥𝔱 𝔒𝔴𝔩, ɴɪɢʜᴛ ᴏᴡʟ or ℕ𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕆𝕨𝕝.

• Your @username cannot be styled: it only takes lower-case letters, numbers, underscores and full stops.
• Display names, server nicknames, About me and custom status accept styled text, though a server's rules or moderators may ask for a readable name.
• In messages, Discord's own markdown is better for screen readers: **bold**, *italic*, __underline__, ~~strikethrough~~ and `code`.

More detail, step by step: How to change the font in your Instagram bio.

1. Type your text in the box at the top. Until you do, the styles show “Night Owl”.
2. Styles that suit a profile come first. Tap one to copy it.
3. In Discord, open User Settings, then Profiles, and paste into Display Name or About Me. For one server only, use Edit Server Profile.

• A display name that stands out in member lists
• A themed nickname for one server
• Headings in your About me
• Custom status lines

Can I use fancy fonts in my Discord username?

No. The @username only allows lower-case letters, numbers, underscores and full stops. Your display name, nicknames and About me can use these styles.

Should I use this or Discord's markdown?

In messages, use markdown such as **bold** and *italic*: it is real formatting that everyone can read. Use these styles where markdown does not work, such as names and status.
