Serif and Sans Italics

Serif italic looks like quoted text in a book. Sans italic is lighter and more modern. Bold italic adds weight for a stronger push.

One small detail: the italic lowercase h lives in a different part of Unicode. This tool handles it, so your words stay complete.

When to Use Italic

Use italic for titles, quotes and soft emphasis. It is gentler than bold. Keep it short, since long italic lines are tiring to read.

How to Use It

Type or edit the text in the box. Each result updates as you type. Press Copy next to the style you like, then paste it into your bio, caption, chat or username. If you see empty boxes after pasting, that app lacks the symbol, so try another style.
