If you have already updated Instagram on your Android or iPhone mobile, you will have found a small surprise when it comes to creating new Instagram Stories: there is a whole collection of new fonts or typefaces for use. In other words, you will be able to write more stylish texts or, at least, with more style options than before. But which are the most attractive? How to make your Instagram Stories not a hodgepodge of unsightly letters? Don't worry, here we tell you which are the 5 combinations that are attracting the most attention
Magazine Labels
If there is a predominant typeface and style during the first days of the presence of these new letters, those are the magazine ones. And it is that you can simulate creating the cover or the report pages of a publication with this style in a simple and orderly way.
Select the third to last option on the carousel (the third from the right) to write any text. By itself, this typeface is very simple and elegant, but it has an ace up its sleeve: the underline. Tap the icon of the A with the two stars at the top of the screen to bring up a rather exaggerated and geometric shading. So you can create much more striking headlines and texts that will focus attention on the text. You can click several times on this button to see the different shades.You can even change it's color. But we already told you that the black background and white text is the most elegant.
New life for Comic Sans
Yes, the criticized letter Comic Sans is now on Instagram Stories. And yes, it is still just as bad as in Word and other text editors. However, it can be given a second life thanks also to the underline effect, which gives it a certain style.
Write with Comic Sans the text you want. It is the sixth option from the left or the fourth from the right. Then click on the A icon at the top. This adds a background stroke to the text, much like an underline. The good thing is that you can choose different colors. It is a fresh and colorful style that can go with casual storiesNever use Comic Sans if you want to be taken seriously.
Text without padding
Whether for creating memes or for more stylish posts, text without padding is a good choice. Especially if we leave it simplified in black or white. With other tones this typeface loses strength.
You just have to write the text and mark the second font from the left of the carousel. It is very simple and appears filled, but if we click on the A icon at the top we see a more striking formula: larger letters with transparent interiorsTry making big banners above and below the story. You will see the meme effect.
Message Bubbles
Thanks to the new fonts and styles you can create or recreate screenshots of WhatsApp or messaging applications in Instagram Stories. You just have to choose a background and the font with the rounded shading.
It is the second font from the right of the carousel. Write whatever it is and click on the A above to put a background on it. The rounded shading makes it look like a message bubble. So you can write several lines of text justified to the left and right to simulate a chat.
The most legible typography
There is a new format that allows you to shade the text without changing the style too much. It is the most legible form that you will find in the new letters of Instagram Stories, and the ones that will stand out more from the photo or video without losing attention to what is important .
It is the fifth font, right in the middle. Type any text and then tap the A button on the shader.This way you will apply a black shading that makes it readable on any surface. If you press the shading button again the color is polarized. This option is fresh and showy with some color. Test it.
