Why format text on Tumblr?

Tumblr is having a renaissance with a younger audience who treat the platform as a personal scrapbook. Stylised post text — particularly Small Caps and Script — slots neatly into the platform's editorial, image-heavy aesthetic.

Best practices for Tumblr

  • Small Caps reads as the unofficial Tumblr house style for headers.
  • Use Italic Script for moodboard captions and quote posts.
  • Tags themselves should stay plain — Tumblr search and the Activity feed work on lowercased plain text.
  • Heads-up: heavily styled posts get less radar pickup because the platform's recommendation system favours plain-text discoverability.
