Discord Fonts: Style Your Display Name and Server
Type a name, a channel title or a message and copy any style below: gothic, small caps, bold, typewriter, black squares, framed names and a light glitch. Everything pastes into Discord as ordinary text, so it shows up for everyone whose device supports the characters.

For chat messages you often don't need it: Discord's Markdown already handles **bold**, *italic*, __underline__ and ~~strikethrough~~. Unicode styles shine where Markdown doesn't work, like your display name, server nickname, server name and channel names. Your unique username can't use them, because it only allows lowercase letters, numbers, underscores and periods.
Frequently asked questions
No. Unique usernames only allow lowercase letters, numbers, underscores and periods. Display names and per-server nicknames accept Unicode, so put the styled version there; that's the name people see in chat anyway.
For normal messages, Markdown is better: **bold**, *italic*, __underline__ and ~~strikethrough~~ stay readable, searchable and screen-reader friendly. Unicode styles are for places Markdown can't reach, like names, or for looks it doesn't have, such as gothic, bubble or small caps.
Some servers run moderation bots that reset nicknames with unusual characters or with symbols that push a name to the top of the member list. Check the server rules or ask a moderator which characters are allowed.
It can get harder. Typing @ plus normal letters won't match styled ones, so friends may need your plain username to find you. Keeping one plain word in your display name makes you easier to ping.
A light glitch usually displays fine. Heavy zalgo stacks can spill over nearby lines, get cut off, or break a server's rule about readable names, so try the light version first and skip it where moderators need to read your name.
