Typing in apps like WhatsApp with different fonts is possible with this keyboard

MSN Messenger allowed you to choose a font for your messages but it is not the usual today. Even if you change the typography of your mobile, the other person sees the messages with the font they use on their mobile. However, there is a way to write texts with different fonts in apps like WhatsApp, with a keyboard app like Fonts.

The trick is that you don’t use a different typeface, but special Unicode characters that, given enough imagination, resemble a different font. In this way, you can write messages on WhatsApp or any other app with styles such as β„‚π• π•Ÿπ•₯π• π•£π•Ÿπ• , 𝓬𝓾𝓻𝓼𝓲𝓿π“ͺ, ᡉⁿ α΅–α΅‰α΅ α΅˜α΅‰βΏΜα΅’, π–Œπ–”Μπ–™π–Žπ–ˆπ–” and others.

A keyboard for “fonts”

The trick of using non-letter characters to match letters is almost as old as chat. The difference is that now writing with different styles is as easy as writing normal, using a special keyboard app that centralizes and facilitates these different styles. It is much more convenient than using an online generator.

Over time, keyboard applications of the style have begun to flourish on Google Play, although some of them include advertising or other additions beyond the main function. Fonts is a simple keyboard app and to the point: with many styles available and supports many languages.

As a keyboard application, the first thing you should do after installing and opening it for the first time is to choose the language. While not all styles are adapted for Spanish, some of them include Γ‘ and tildes (with a long touch).

Before you can use it, you must activate it in the Android options, at which point the system will warn you that the application could collect private information, while the application indicates that it will not. In case of doubts, you can read the privacy policy here.

Doing so opens a text box where you can test the keyboard, although you must first select Fonts as keyboard app. In that test window you will be able to see all the different styles that are included, which are not few.

More fonts for WhatsApp

At this point, Fonts works like any other keyboard app, so you can use it to write text with different “fonts” in any application that allows you to enter text and Unicode support, which is the norm today. You should have no problem using it for example on WhatsApp.

Fonts has a similar layout to Gboard, with a top bar where you can switch between the different styles, like tabs. As of today, there are about 46 different styles: most of them are font styles, although there are also ornaments, emojis and, yes, you can also write normal.

Fonts

The text you write with Fonts It should look like you see it on any moderately recent Android phone that has the corresponding Unicode support. Generally, you won’t have a problem using it in chat applications when writing messages, but some apps may complain if you try to use these “non-standard” characters for things like choosing a username.
