Twitter/X Fonts - Fancy Text for Tweets and Bios
Make your tweets and X profile stand out with fancy Unicode fonts. While X (formerly Twitter) does not provide text formatting in tweets, Unicode characters give you access to bold, italic, cursive, gothic, and dozens of other text styles that display correctly for all viewers on web, iOS, and Android.
Character Count Consideration
Important: many Unicode fancy characters count as 2 characters toward Twitter's 280-character limit because they are encoded outside the Basic Multilingual Plane (they use surrogate pairs). This means a bold tweet uses roughly twice the character budget of a normal tweet. For maximum impact within the limit, use fancy fonts selectively -- bold a key phrase, or use cursive for your sign-off rather than the entire tweet.
Best Uses on X/Twitter
- Display name - Bold or cursive names get more attention in notifications and replies
- Bio - Small caps and cursive are popular for clean, distinctive bios
- Tweet emphasis - Bold or italic key words within a tweet
- Thread headers - Use bold or framed text to mark thread segments
Recommended Styles for Twitter
Bold and italic are the safest choices for tweet text because they are widely understood and readable. Cursive works beautifully for display names and bios. For creative accounts, aesthetic and gothic text can establish a distinctive brand identity.
