Fonts for X (Twitter)
Bold and italic for posts and your display name, within X’s own rules.
More styles (19)
Your text never leaves your browser. Copy works on phones and desktops.
For fonts on X, type above, copy a style and paste it into a post or your name (up to 50 characters). X usernames only allow letters A-Z, numbers 0-9 and underscores, up to 15 characters, so styled letters go in the name and posts, not the @username.

Styled text in posts
Bold and italic help one phrase stand out in a long post. Screen readers may spell styled letters out, so keep links, handles and key facts in plain text.
How to use it
- Type your textEnter a name, bio line or caption in the box.
- Copy a stylePress Copy next to the style you like. On phones, long-press the result if copy is blocked.
- Paste itPaste it into your X (Twitter) name, bio or caption. Keep usernames and handles plain.
Limits and when to use something else
- Usernames, handles and @mentions accept plain letters only; put styled text in display names, bios and captions.
- Older phones and some apps lack fonts for rarer styles and show empty boxes instead.
- Most styled letters are stored as two units each, so apps that count characters may count them double toward a length limit.
- Screen readers may spell styled letters out, and search may not match them. Keep important words in plain text.
- Some apps strip combining marks, which removes strikethrough, underline and Zalgo effects.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a real font?
No. Each style swaps your letters for other Unicode characters that already look bold, cursive or gothic, so the style survives copy and paste into apps that do not let you choose a font.
Why do some letters show as boxes?
The device reading the text has no font that draws that character. Bold, italic and cursive work on current iPhones, Android phones, Windows and macOS; rarer styles such as squared or upside-down letters are more likely to break on older systems.
Is fancy text accessible?
Not fully. Screen readers may spell these characters out or skip them, and search inside apps may not match them. Keep names, links and important information in plain text and use styles for decoration.
