Red means it is over 150. 2. **Copy your style**: Press Copy on the style you like. 3. **Paste in Edit profile**: In Instagram, open your profile, tap Edit profile, then Bio, and paste. Save and check how it looks to others. ## Where Old English text works on Instagram | Field | Styled text? | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Bio | Yes | Limited to 150 characters. | | Name | Yes | The bold line above your bio, limited to 30 characters. It also helps people find you, so keep a recognisable word in it. | | Username (@handle) | No | Only letters, numbers, periods and underscores. | | Captions and comments | Yes | Long captions in blackletter are tiring to read; use it for the first line. | | Story text | Yes | Paste into a text box. Instagram's own story fonts apply on top, so results vary. | ## Why the counter can say more than you typed Each Fraktur letter is stored as two hidden units in the way most apps count text, so a 40-letter bio can measure 80 or more. The counter above uses that stricter count to be safe. If the counter says you're close, mix plain and styled text: style only your name or the first line. ## Bio templates - π”‘π”žπ”ͺ𝔒 β€’ what you do β€’ where you are - π•Ίπ–œπ–“π–Šπ–— at Your Shop ✦ link below - β˜™ quote you live by ❧ and plain-text contact line - π”ˆπ”°π”±. 1998 | city | one hobby Notice that every template keeps something in plain text. People scan bios in a second or two, and readable words still matter most. ## How we built this style Bio styles use Mathematical Fraktur and Bold Fraktur. The counter measures UTF-16 code units, the unit many apps use internally, in which every Fraktur letter outside the Letterlike Symbols block counts as two. Instagram does not publish exactly how it counts, so treat the number as a cautious estimate. ## More Old English tools for your profile - [Old English Name Generator](https://www.oldenglishfontgenerator.com/old-english-name-generator): Your name in blackletter, with date and bio presets. - [Old English Cursive](https://www.oldenglishfontgenerator.com/old-english-cursive): Blackletter capitals joined to flowing script lowercase. - [Old English Discord Names](https://www.oldenglishfontgenerator.com/old-english-font-discord): Display names and nicknames that fit 32 characters. - [Old English Letters](https://www.oldenglishfontgenerator.com/old-english-letters): Single letters, initials and monograms. - [Gothic Font Generator](https://www.oldenglishfontgenerator.com/gothic-font-generator): Darker blackletter with crosses, skulls and worn ink. - [Old English Alphabet](https://www.oldenglishfontgenerator.com/old-english-alphabet): Every letter A–Z and a–z, one tap to copy, with a printable sheet. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Can I change my Instagram font to Old English? Instagram doesn't let you change fonts, but you can paste Old English Unicode characters into your bio, Name field, captions and comments. ### Why won't Instagram save my styled username? Usernames can only contain plain letters, numbers, periods and underscores. Put styled text in the Name field instead. ### Will styled text hurt my searchability? It can. Search matches plain words more reliably, so keep your real name or business name in plain text somewhere in your Name field or bio. ### Why does my bio look different on my friend's phone? Each phone draws these characters with its own fonts, so shapes and spacing differ a little between iPhone and Android. ### How long can my bio be? Instagram's bio limit is 150 characters. Because styled letters may count double, aim for well under the limit when using blackletter. ### Can screen readers read my styled bio? Often not well. Some read each letter as a maths symbol. Keeping key details in plain text helps everyone.
