Discord Fonts - Fancy Text for Discord
Discord is one of the most popular platforms for using fancy text. While Discord supports basic Markdown formatting in messages (bold, italic, underline, strikethrough), Unicode fonts let you go far beyond that. Our Discord font generator provides 50+ text styles that work in Discord usernames, server nicknames, channel descriptions, and messages.
Discord Markdown vs Unicode Fonts
Discord's built-in Markdown lets you type **bold**, *italic*, __underline__, ~~strikethrough~~, and `code` in messages. But these formatting shortcuts do not work in usernames, server bios, or role names. Unicode fonts fill that gap, since they are actual characters that display as styled text everywhere. For a comprehensive guide to all Discord text options, visit our Discord text formatting guide.
Most Popular Discord Font Styles
- Bold & Bold Italic - Make usernames and messages stand out
- Cursive/Script - Elegant display names for creative servers
- Gothic/Fraktur - Dramatic blackletter for gaming servers
- Zalgo - Creepy distorted text for horror-themed channels
- Vaporwave/Aesthetic - Wide spaced text for aesthetic servers
- Bubble/Circled - Playful enclosed letters for fun servers
Tips for Discord Fonts
Some Unicode characters may display differently across desktop, mobile, and web versions of Discord. Bold, italic, cursive, and gothic styles have the best cross-device compatibility. Test your chosen style on both desktop and mobile before committing to it as a permanent username.
