How a font generator works without fonts
A real font changes how letters are drawn while the text underneath stays the same. A chat box or a name field gives you no control over the font, so this generator does something else: it replaces each letter with a different Unicode character that looks like a styled version of it.
Unicode contains whole alphabets meant for mathematics, such as bold, italic, script, gothic and double-struck letters, as well as circled and squared letters. Typing Jett in the bold style produces four mathematical bold characters that read as Jett and survive a copy and paste.
Where styled text works
- Discord, Twitch, tracker and social bios: nearly every style displays.
- Valorant chat: hit and miss. The game font covers Latin, Cyrillic, Greek and East Asian scripts well, mathematical alphabets less so.
- Riot ID: filtered. Expect plain letters, accented letters and other real alphabets to pass, and decorative sets to be refused.
The safest styles for names are the ones made of real letters from other alphabets, such as small caps and faux Greek. The most fragile are the ones that stack marks on each letter, such as strikethrough and underline.
The 16-character limit
A Riot ID name takes 3 to 16 characters. The generator shows the length of your text and warns you past 16. Note that the strikethrough, underline and slashed styles add an invisible mark after each letter, which doubles the character count.
Accessibility and readability
Screen readers read styled characters as their mathematical names, or skip them. A name in gothic letters is also harder to call out on voice chat. Use a styled version where it is decoration, and keep a plain one where people need to read you.
The fonts of Valorant itself
If you came here for the typefaces of the game: headings and numbers are in Tungsten, interface text is in DIN Next, and the logo is custom. For a thumbnail or an overlay with a similar feel, free condensed sans-serifs such as Oswald or Bebas Neue get close without the licence.
For the name itself, see the name ideas and the symbols. For chat, the text art generator writes in block letters that always display. For the screen itself, our crosshair codes come with a preview before you import them.
