Bold text without a bold button
Instagram captions have no formatting, so bold text is the easiest way to make a headline, a price or a key point jump out. Bold sans (๐๐ผ๐น๐ฑ) looks modern and clean; bold serif (๐๐จ๐ฅ๐) looks classic.
- Caption headlines: ๐ก๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ followed by plain text.
- Business bios: ๐๐ฉ๐๐ง ๐๐โ๐ ยท ๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐จ๐ซ๐๐๐ซ
- Key words: bold one or two words in a long caption.
Accessibility tip: screen readers may not read bold Unicode letters normally, so don't put a whole caption in bold.
