TikTok Font Generator
Type once, search 34 Unicode font styles and copy one for your TikTok nickname (30 characters), bio (80) and captions. Free, no signup.
How to use the TikTok Font Generator
Type or paste your text
Write your nickname, bio line or caption in the box at the top. Every style row below restyles live as you type, so you see all 34 versions at once. Search by a word like cursive or bubble to jump to a family, and pick a row to see it on the profile mockup.
Pick the style that fits
Bold, italic, script, double-struck, monospace and the other styles each get their own row. Bold and italic render most reliably across phones, so start there for anything important.
Copy the row you want
Hit Copy next to a style and the full styled text lands on your clipboard, even for a long caption. Nothing leaves your browser at any point.
Paste into TikTok
Open your profile edit screen or the caption field and paste. It works in your nickname (30 characters), bio (80), captions and comments (150), but not in your @username, which only accepts plain letters, numbers, underscores and periods.
Where TikTok fonts work, and where they don’t
The honest answer first: you cannot style your @username. TikTok usernames accept only letters, numbers, underscores and periods, cap at 24 characters, and can be changed once every 30 days. Fancy Unicode characters are simply rejected there. The place people actually put styled text is the nickname, the display name shown on your profile and above your videos, which accepts Unicode, caps at 30 characters and can be changed once every 7 days.
Beyond the nickname, styled text pastes cleanly into your bio (80 characters), video captions and comments (150 characters). Captions are the field with a twist: the in-app limit is 4,000 characters as of 2026, but viewers only see roughly the first 100 before the “more” fold, so the styled hook belongs at the very front.
One caveat almost no font page mentions: if you publish through a scheduling tool, TikTok’s Content Posting API caps captions at 2,200 characters, not 4,000. JuzPost is a scheduler, so we hit this limit daily. If your captions go out on a schedule, 2,200 is your real budget. All of these limits were re-verified in August 2026.
How TikTok fonts actually work
They are not fonts. TikTok renders profile text in your phone’s system font, SF Pro on iOS and Roboto on Android, and gives you no font picker for bios or nicknames. A real font could never travel inside a bio field, but characters can.
This tool swaps each letter you type for a Unicode look-alike, mostly from the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block: 𝗕 instead of B, 𝓑 instead of a script B. To TikTok they are ordinary text, the same way é is ordinary text, so they survive copy and paste and display on both iOS and Android without any app or plugin involved.
That also answers the guidelines worry: styled text is standard Unicode, the same character set emoji and accented names use. You are not injecting anything into TikTok or modifying the app, so there is nothing for a font generator to violate.
Why some fonts show as boxes (□), and which styles are safest
A box means the reader’s phone has no glyph for that character. The rare decorated Unicode sets that some generators pile on are missing from the fonts that ship with older Android builds, so your carefully styled bio reads as □□□□ on a chunk of your audience’s phones.
The list here puts the mathematical alphanumeric and fullwidth families first, the blocks with the widest glyph coverage, and skips the combining-mark sets entirely. The bubble, squared and decorated styles near the bottom use enclosed and symbol code points that older Android builds may draw as boxes, so treat them as a risk you take knowingly. Bold and italic are the safest of all; script and double-struck are close behind.
One counting quirk worth knowing: styled letters live in Unicode’s astral planes, and depending on how a field counts, each one can cost 2 characters toward a limit instead of 1. In an 80-character bio that halves your budget, so paste your styled text into the field and check what actually fits before you hit save.
Search, accessibility, and what font TikTok actually uses
TikTok search matches literal characters, so a fully styled nickname will not match someone typing your name in plain text. The fix is cheap: keep at least one plain-text keyword, usually your name or niche, in your nickname or bio, and style the rest. Screen readers are the other cost: they announce styled letters one code point at a time by Unicode name, so a styled word or two reads far better than a styled paragraph.
If you landed here asking what font TikTok itself uses, the answer since May 2023 is TikTok Sans, the platform’s own typeface, which replaced Proxima Nova and is now open source on Google Fonts. Pages still citing Proxima Nova are out of date.
Fonts in videos are a separate feature from all of the above: the in-app text tool offers its own styles, Classic, Typewriter, Handwriting, Neon and Serif, which only exist on video overlays. This generator covers the text fields the app gives you no styling for: nickname, bio, captions and comments.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change the font of my TikTok username (@handle)?
No. TikTok usernames only accept letters, numbers, underscores and periods, with a 24-character cap, so styled Unicode characters are rejected. Style your nickname instead: it accepts Unicode, holds 30 characters and can be changed once every 7 days, while the username itself changes only once every 30 days.
Why does my TikTok bio cut off at 80 characters?
Because 80 characters is TikTok’s bio limit as of 2026. Styled letters can make it feel even shorter, since some Unicode characters count as 2 toward the limit depending on how the field counts. Paste your styled bio in and check what fits before saving, and keep the plain-text keyword you want found near the front.
Do TikTok fonts work in comments and captions?
Yes, both. Comments allow 150 characters and captions allow 4,000 in the app as of 2026, though only roughly the first 100 caption characters show before the “more” fold. If you post through a scheduler, note that TikTok’s Content Posting API caps captions at 2,200 characters instead of 4,000.
Why do some fonts show up as boxes (□) on other phones?
The other phone is missing the glyphs for those characters, which mostly happens with rare decorated Unicode sets on older Android builds. This generator only uses the mathematical alphanumeric and fullwidth families, the blocks with the broadest device coverage. Bold and italic are the safest choices when your audience skews toward older devices.
Are font generators against TikTok’s guidelines?
No. The output is standard Unicode text, the same character set that emoji and accented letters come from, pasted into fields TikTok already accepts text in. Nothing is installed and the app is not modified, so there is no rule for a font generator to break. Countless large accounts use styled nicknames and bios.
Do fancy fonts hurt my visibility in TikTok search?
They can, because TikTok search matches literal characters and a styled word is made of different characters than its plain version. Keep one plain-text keyword, like your name or niche, in your nickname or bio, and apply styles to the decorative parts. That way you stay findable and still stand out.
