Here is a good question – should you use custom fonts on your Instagram profile?

If you are using Instagram on a daily basis, for sure you saw that certain Instagram profiles use custom fonts.
By custom fonts, I mean both non-standard fonts and also very “weird” fonts.
Do you like Instagram profiles that use custom fonts?
I like certain profiles while I totally hate others.
Keep reading so you can make sure that your Instagram profile won’t get hate from people that just don’t like your custom fonts.
Custom fonts or not for Instagram?Exactly as people just starting lifting weights are looking for a miracle pill or substance to make them grow quick, and without too much effort, there are people that think their Instagram profiles need “weird” fonts.
I personally don’t recommend you use weird fonts or even custom fonts (non-standard fonts that look ok), if you don’t know very well what you are doing.
Custom fonts should be used only if:
– You know perfectly what you are doing.
– The picked font stays there and you don’t play with fonts on your Instagram profile.
– Your Instagram has everything and only the custom font is missing.
Otherwise, you should stick with your Instagram standard font and focus on:– Creating interesting and unique content.
– Publishing content on a daily basis.
– Responding to all the comments and messages you receive. If you cannot do it, hire somebody to do it in your place.
– Don’t forget that videos work great, many times they provide much better results than images.
If all of these are perfect, and the custom font is missing, here is what you need to do.
How to add custom fonts to your Instagram profileTo add custom fonts on Instagram, you will have to use a 3rd party software.
One such software is Instafonts.io.
There are for sure other options, and you should not understand that we recommend this website.
It is just the first one we found on the web, and it is useful for our topic.
When you visit the website, you will find an empty box in which you will write the text you need for your Instagram profile.
Write the text and you will immediately get tens of fonts to choose from.

As you see, while some fonts look quite normal and good, and are viable options for your Instagram profile, others are impossible to use.
Or at least you should not use fonts that are very hard to read and understand, or that just look unnatural and weird.
In plus, the software can generate a fully custom font.
The feature is easy to work with and quick, but have in mind how will you duplicate it if you want to use that font each time you post on Instagram.
ConclusionsThe very best thing you should do to your Instagram profile is, as I already said, to focus on creating engaging content, post daily if possible, and make a strong connection with your followers.
The font you use on Instagram is not so important, and the risk is that you might choose a bad font for your profile and make it worse than good.
You might find out immediately that people hate your new custom font, or it might take you weeks or months, a time in which you might lose many followers.
And also have in mind that if you use custom fonts, you will spend much more time than using the standard fonts, as you will each day visit the website that helps you with custom fonts.
Also, you might find yourself in a situation in which your custom font is gone, or the website is down.
So, stick with the standard Instagram fonts, this is by far the best you can do.
I'm a programmer at heart. But in my 20s, I realized there was more to the world of fonts than just Courier.
Driven by endless curiosity, I built a system to explore them.
That project grew into one of the world’s leading font identifier platforms: www.WhatFontIs.com.
By 2024, WhatFontIs is helping nearly one million designers—famous or not—discover the names of the fonts they need.
