Twitter (X) Font Generator

How to change your font on Twitter (X)

X has no font setting. What you can do is paste text made of special Unicode characters that look like a different font. That is all any "Twitter font" is, and it's why the result works on iPhone, Android and desktop without an app.

1. Type or paste your text. Write the line you want to style: a bio, a display name, a post, a headline inside a thread. Every style below updates as you type.
2. Pick a style. Scroll the list or filter it by name (bold, script, bubble). Each card shows your text in that style and how many of X's 280 characters it would use.
3. Copy and paste into X. Tap Copy, then paste into the X composer, your bio or your name field. The characters are Unicode, so they show up on every device without installing anything.

Which fonts work on X?

Every style on this page is built from characters in the Unicode standard, and X renders the standard in full. The ones people use most:

• Sans Bold and Sans Italic match X's interface font, so they read as emphasis rather than decoration. Best for a word in a post or a headline in a thread.
• Bold and Italic (serif) look like a book. Good for quotes.
• Script and Bold Script read as handwriting. Popular for display names.
• Fraktur and Bold Fraktur are the gothic and old English looks.
• Double-struck, Monospace, Wide, Small caps for a technical or retro feel.
• Circled, Squared, Parenthesized turn letters into bubbles and boxes. The black variants only exist for capitals.
• Strikethrough, Underline, Slashed add a combining mark to each letter, so they work with any alphabet, not just A to Z.

Letters outside A to Z and 0 to 9 (accented characters, Cyrillic, Arabic, emoji) stay as they are in most styles. The effect styles, which add a mark to every character, are the exception.

Styled text and the 280-character limit

X counts characters by weight. Plain Latin letters, digits and most punctuation count as one; nearly everything else, including every styled letter here, counts as two. So a 140-character line in bold fills the whole 280 limit. The counter on each card uses X's rule, so what you see is what the composer will accept. Premium subscribers get a longer limit, but the same weights apply.

A word on accessibility and search

Screen readers often announce styled letters one by one, by their Unicode names, or skip them entirely. A display name in bold is fine; a whole bio in script may be unreadable to some of your followers. Keep sentences plain and use styles for a word or a name.

Search is the other cost. A styled word is a different string from the plain word, so it won't match searches, and a hashtag written in a style stops being a hashtag. Write hashtags and keywords you want found in plain text.

Where you can and can't use them

Posts, replies, quotes, bios, display names, pinned posts, list names and Community names all accept Unicode. The @username does not: X allows only letters, numbers and underscores there. If you want a styled name, change the display name and keep the handle plain. Our guide on changing your Twitter username covers what each one is and what happens when you change it.
