How to Change the Font on Instagram in Your Bio & Captions
Have you ever wanted to switch up your Instagram by using different fonts? It turns out you can! Instagram uses one font, Instagram Sans. It is crisp, easy to read, and meshes well with its platform, which is filled with incredible imagery. According to Instagram, "Instagram Sans is our new, global typeface. The glyph and wordmark inspired this custom style that nods to our heritage." and it "reflects the shape of the glyph and our commitment to simplicity and craft. The in-between moments of a perfect circle and a square, which we lovingly call the "squircle," show up throughout the typeface." They've put a lot of thought and effort into the font to make it work seamlessly for users (learn more about it here). Still, you may want to switch it up now and again to be a bit creative or to help your content stand out.
