How To Type in Comic Sans on Discord?

If you use Discord regularly, you’ll notice it uses a standard font throughout the app. The native Discord font is called GG Sans. Even though a font doesn’t generally affect the user experience, using one font throughout can be boring.

One of the fun fonts you can try out on Discord is Comic Sans. Unfortunately, Discord doesn’t support various fonts. You’ll have to settle on secondary methods to use Comic Sans. So, how to go about it?

Read on to learn how to type in Comic Sans on Discord.

Overview of Using Comic Sans on Discord

As noted above, Discord doesn’t support font changes on the app. The original Discord font is Whitney, but Discord recently changed its font to GG Sans. Using one font can be boring, especially if you’re an avid Discord fan. One font you can use to add flare to your text is Comic Sans.

Comic Sans is a groovy font that doesn’t have sharp edges characterizing many typical fonts. It’s fun, playful, and readable on screen, even in small sizes.

As you’ve learned in the introduction, Discord doesn’t have built-in font change settings that allow using Comic Sans. If you want to switch to this font, you’ll have to settle for third-party font-changing apps or bots.

Most of these font-changing apps and websites are easy to use as you only need to write your text, change it to your ideal font, then copy it to paste on Discord. Even though Discord doesn’t have custom font change support, you can change the appearance of your font in size and spacing.

Before switching the font to Comic Sans, you can adjust it to your preferred size using the steps below:

1. Open Discord on your PC.
2. Click on the settings icon at the bottom left.
3. Select ‘Appearance‘ from the left navigation.
4. Go to the ‘Chat Font Scaling‘ and slide the bar to the right or left to adjust the size. If you prefer a bigger font, slide right. To make the font smaller, slide the bar to the left.

After, all the text in the app, including what you type, will be in that specific font size. Next, we discuss the exact steps to type in Comic Sans on Discord.
