Where fancy fonts go on Instagram
Your name field and bio accept every style here. The name also shows up in search, so keep part of it in plain letters if you want people to find you. Your username is stricter and only takes plain letters, numbers, periods and underscores.
Bios have a 150 character limit, and some styled letters count as two characters, so a styled bio fills up faster than you expect.
Keep your actual name in plain letters somewhere in your profile. Instagram search matches plain text, and a fully styled name is harder for friends to find.
Line one: who you are, in bold cursive or small caps. Line two: what you post, in plain text so it is easy to read. Line three: a call to action or link. Use one symbol style throughout. For decoration ideas, see the aesthetic fonts and the text decorator.

Questions people ask
How do I change the font in my Instagram bio?
Type your bio here, copy a style and paste it into Edit profile > Bio. Save.
Can I use a fancy font in my Instagram username?
No. Usernames only allow letters, numbers, periods and underscores. Put the fancy version in your name field.
Do fancy fonts hurt my Instagram search ranking?
Search reads your username and name. If your name is fully styled, it may be harder to find. Keep your main keyword in plain letters.
Why does my styled bio go over 150 characters?
Many styled letters use two text units each, so they count double towards the limit.
Do Instagram fonts work in stories?
Yes. Paste them into a text box. Stories also offer their own built in fonts.
