Threads fonts for your bio and posts.

Threads shares your name and username with Instagram but has its own bio and posts. Fancy text works in both. Posts are text-first, so a styled first line is a simple way to stand out in the feed, as long as the words people search for stay plain.

Counted the strict way: many fancy letters are stored as 2 characters, so if it fits here, it fits in the app.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use fancy fonts on Threads?

Yes, in your bio and posts. Type here, copy a style and paste. Your name and username come from Instagram.

How long can a Threads post be?

500 characters. Fancy letters can count as two, so the counter here counts the strict way.

How do I change my Threads name?

Threads uses your Instagram name. Change it in Instagram's Edit profile; fancy text works there too.

Is bold text available on Threads?

There is no bold button. Bold Unicode letters from this tool are how people do it.
