Instagram fonts

Instagram has no font setting for your bio, name or captions. These styles use look-alike Unicode letters instead, such as 𝓨𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓝𝓪𝓶𝓮 or ʏᴏᴜʀ ɴᴀᴍᴇ, so they show up when you paste them. The Preview tab shows your line in a mock profile first.

• Your username cannot be styled: it only takes letters, numbers, full stops and underscores. Your name, bio, captions and comments can.
• The bio limit is 150 characters, and some apps count a styled letter as two.
• Keep anything people search for, like your name and what you do, in plain text, and never style hashtags: a styled tag is different text, so it will not link to the plain one.
• Screen readers read styled letters badly, so use a style for a word or a line, not the whole bio.

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 “Your Name”.
2. Styles that suit a profile come first. Tap one to copy it; styles marked PRO are part of Fancy Text Pro.
3. In Instagram, go to your profile, tap Edit profile, then paste into Bio or Name and save.

• A styled name or tagline at the top of your bio
• Headings and sign-offs in captions
• Comments that stand out
• Highlight names and links in bio pages

Can I change the font of my Instagram username?

No. Usernames only allow letters, numbers, full stops and underscores. Your name, bio, captions and comments can use these styles.

Why does my styled bio show boxes on some phones?

Older phones can lack those characters. Bold, italic, cursive and small caps are the safest; styles marked "may show boxes" are the riskiest.

Can I change the font in Instagram Stories?

Stories and Reels have their own text styles built in. These fonts are for the places that have none: your bio, name, captions and comments.
