Instagram has been aggressive in introducing new stickers for its Stories lately. However, it is about to bring yet another change to Stories and this time it's not a new sticker. The company has announced that it will introduce new fonts to let you customise your stories even more. The firm says that it has already started testing these fonts with a small percentage of people but did not give a time frame as to when these will be rolled out to all the users.

For now, you get five fonts - Typewriter, Strong, Classic, Modern and Neon to write inside an Instagram Story. However, the firm is about to add four more fonts to the existing fonts. The official names of those fonts have not been mentioned but Instagram has shown them in a gif posted on Twitter.
