Adopt Me Font Design: Balancing Aesthetics with Readability

โ€ข10-12 min read

We all want cool names, but if no one can read them, what's the point? In Adopt Me!, "Square Boxes" (โ–กโ–กโ–ก) are the enemy. This guide teaches you how to design names that are 100% readable on all devices.

The "Square Box" Problem

Roblox supports many Unicode characters, but not ALL of them. Older devices (like low-end tablets) often fail to render complex symbols.

โš ๏ธ The Risk

If your name shows up as "โ–กโ–กโ–กโ–ก" to a trader, they might think you are a bot or a hacker. They will decline your trade request instantly.

Font Readability Tier List

I tested 50+ font styles on PC, Mobile, and Tablet. Here are the results.

Design Principle: The "Sandwich" Method

To balance style and safety, use the Sandwich Method:

  • Bread (Outer): Use highly stylized symbols (โœจ, โšก, โ„๏ธ). If these fail, it's okay.
  • Meat (Inner): Use a high-readability font (Small Caps or Bold) for your actual name.
