What YouTube lets you format, and what it doesn't

YouTube comments support a little formatting: *asterisks* for bold, _underscores_ for italic and -hyphens- for strikethrough. That works in comments, but titles, descriptions and channel names are plain text. These YouTube fonts fill that gap with Unicode letters that look bold, hollow or boxed and stay styled wherever you paste them.

YouTube text styles and search

YouTube's search reads styled letters as different characters. A title like "𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗧𝗢 𝗕𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗" won't match someone typing "how to bake bread". That can cost you views.

If you want a styled title, style a word that isn't part of the search term, like a 𝗡𝗘𝗪 or 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 tag, and keep the keywords plain. Descriptions work the same way: style the section labels, not the sentences that explain what the video is about.

Limits to keep in mind

Tips for comments that get noticed

Bold the first few words, not the whole comment. Add a timestamp in plain text (like 4:32) so it stays clickable. Styled timestamps break the link. And avoid stacking several fancy styles together. A comment that looks like an ad tends to get ignored or hidden.

More options for each style: the bold text generator for comment hooks, the double struck text generator for hollow headers, and our TikTok fonts for Shorts captions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get bold text in YouTube comments?
You can wrap words in *asterisks* in a comment, or copy the Sans Bold style above. The Unicode version also works in descriptions and community posts, where asterisks do nothing.
Can I use fancy fonts in YouTube titles?
Yes, but use them sparingly. YouTube search won't match styled letters to normal words, so keep your main keywords in plain text.
Why didn't my timestamp become a link?
YouTube only links timestamps written in normal digits. Keep times like 2:15 in plain text and style the words around them instead.
Can I use these fonts in my channel name?
Your display name may accept some styles, but handles only allow plain letters, numbers, underscores, hyphens and periods.
