Typography that survives the feed
Design at the real export size (1080 px wide) and check the post at phone scale before publishing. Keep body text above 28 px, use high contrast against photos (a soft shadow or a colour block helps), and avoid thin weights that disappear on compressed images. Scripts work for one or two words, never for a full caption.
Questions about fonts for instagram and social media
- Which fonts are trending on Instagram?
- Clean geometric sans serifs for captions, bold condensed faces for quotes, and casual handwritten scripts as accents. Serif faces with high contrast are popular for fashion and lifestyle accounts.
- How do I add a downloaded font to Canva or Procreate?
- Install the TTF or OTF on your computer and upload it to Canva (Brand Kit, paid plans) or import it into Procreate from the Fonts panel. Most other apps pick up installed fonts automatically.
- Are these fonts free for a business account?
- Downloading is free; using a font in a company's posts is commercial use, so check the license file in each ZIP. Many are free for commercial projects, some ask for a small fee.
