Caption ideas with custom fonts
Let’s look at 13 caption ideas using the Instagram fonts generator.
1. Keep the same font combination for all your posts.
This will make your captions look stylish. For example, you can always use a bold font for the first sentence of your caption, and another font for the rest of your text.
2. Use the same font for your header / title in your caption.
Make the first words in your caption clear. You can use the bold font to make it pop.
3. Write your ENTIRE caption with a different font.
Tired of having the same font on Instagram all the time? Using a different font, all the time, in your captions, will catch people’s attention. It can make your account look so much more personal, and branded. For example, you could use the “Typewriter” font. This font makes your captions look like a personal journal.
4. Use the “Square” or “Circle” fonts for numbers.
5. Use a different font for your call-to-action.
For example, use a bold font to get people’s attention.
6. Use the “Script” font as a signature.
Want to write your name or brand name at the end of your caption? You can use a font like the “Script” font to make it look like a hand-written signature. It looks like a personal touch, and a letter from you to your followers.
7. Use bold, italic, underline font to emphasize a word or sentence in your caption.
8. Strikethrough to purposefully “correct” a word in your caption. For example, you can write something “wrong” on purpose, strikethrough the word or sentence, and write the “right” thing after.
9. Alternate viewpoints with normal and bold fonts.
For example, I could make a list of sentences related to an old mindset versus new mindset.
Since I want people to focus on the “new mindset” part, I could make these words bold.
10. This or That.
Play “This or That” game. Use different fonts for different options. It will make your caption more fun and visually appealing.
11. Make it relaxing to read.
Use the “Space” font to make a word b r e a t h e . It looks more relaxing. This font is beautiful if you have a health and wellness Instagram account.
12. Make people stop scrolling.
Have some fun! Use the “Upside Down” or “Flipped” fonts. It will make people turn their phone to read your caption. Bonus: the longer people stay on your post, the more the algorithm will love your account.
13. Change fonts based on the seasons, campaigns or mood.
For example:
- Spring: “Script” font
- Summer: “Fun” font
- Autumn: “Double” font
- Winter “Serif Bold Italic” font
Have fun!
