Why does my Instagram font show as boxes for some people?

Their phone has no font for those characters. The styles at the top of the generator show on current iPhones and Android phones; the ones under More styles may not.

Can I use fancy fonts in my Instagram username?

No. The @username accepts only letters, numbers, periods and underscores. Fancy fonts go in your name, bio, captions and comments.

Do fancy fonts count as more characters in my bio?

No. Each styled letter counts as one of the 150. Strikethrough and underline add a mark to each letter, so they count double; glitch styles count even more.

Will Instagram ban me for using fonts?

No. These are ordinary Unicode characters that Instagram allows. Avoid filling a whole bio with them, though: it is hard to read and to search.

Instagram Fonts

Type your name or bio line, then copy a style that Instagram shows properly. Paste it in Edit profile, a caption or a comment.

How to change your Instagram font

Type your text above and tap Copy on a style
In Instagram, open your profile and tap Edit profile
Paste into Name or Bio and tap Done

Captions, comments, highlight names and story text take styled letters too. In stories you can also pick Instagram's own fonts, but those cannot be copied; these can.

Keep people able to find you

Instagram search matches plain letters. If your name is all cursive, people searching for it may not find you. A common fix is plain name plus a styled word, or a styled name with your @username kept plain.
