Discord formatting you can use without copying
Discord has markdown built in. Wrap text in *one asterisk* for italics, **two** for bold, __two underscores__ for underline and ~~two tildes~~ for strikethrough. A line starting with # becomes a big heading; -# makes small gray subtext. Single backticks give inline code, and three give a code block.
Markdown only works inside Discord messages. For your nickname, server name and channel names, which ignore markdown, paste a Unicode style from this page instead.
For server names, small caps look the most polished in Discord's sidebar. Fully styled names in bold cursive tend to get truncated sooner.
Small text on Discord
Small caps and tiny raised letters are popular for role names and channel names because they look neat in the sidebar. More options are on the small text generator. For huge text in a code block, try block letters.

Questions people ask
How do I change my font on Discord?
Discord has no font picker for names. Type your name here, copy a style and paste it into your server nickname or display name.
What font does Discord use?
Discord uses its own typeface, gg sans, for the interface. You cannot change it, but Unicode styles change how your text looks.
Can I use fancy fonts in my Discord username?
No. Usernames only accept lowercase letters, numbers, underscores and periods. Use your display name instead.
How do I make small text on Discord?
Start a line with -# and a space for small gray text, or copy small caps from this page.
How do I get an invisible name on Discord?
Paste a blank character such as the braille blank from the invisible character page into your nickname. Discord may reject it in some places.
