Instagram releases new fonts and effects to make every user an amateur graphic designer

The app’s new tools are about to make your feed look a lot more Canva-fied.

Your Instagram feed could get a bit of a makeover. Instagram is today releasing a new slate of text-based creative tools, including fonts and effects, for users to apply to stories, reels, and photo carousels. 

The update includes six custom typefaces designed in collaboration with the typeface foundry Colophon. In addition to the new typefaces, users will have more options to animate text in stories and reels, and can now add text and layered images to standard photo carousels. The features have a Canva-esque quality, turning every user into an amateur graphic designer and making Instagram a one-stop shop for influencers.
