Instagram’s new global typeface blending future and past.

Instagram Sans is a custom typeface developed by Instagram as its global brand font in the typography category. Designed by Colophon Foundry, it blends the timeless qualities of grotesque sans-serif typefaces with contemporary elements, drawing inspiration from Instagram's logo and visual history. Instagram Sans serves as a core component in branding, appearing in logos, marketing materials, advertisements, and interface elements across platforms. It fits into design workflows for creating consistent visual identities, particularly in digital and print applications where brand cohesion is essential. Available at no cost for external use in certain contexts, Instagram Sans supports multiple weights and styles without a specified pricing model for general access.
Instagram Sans targets graphic designers, brand strategists, and UI/UX developers working on social media branding or digital content creation. It suits projects needing a versatile sans-serif typeface with grotesque roots, multiple weights, and global script support, particularly for teams handling Instagram-related visuals or similar platform identities. Experience levels range from junior designers experimenting with headline effects to senior typographers refining condensed layouts for mobile-first applications. Developers integrating custom fonts into apps or websites also benefit from its scalability and aspect ratio compatibility. Visit Instagram Sans
