| Italic | Add _underscores_ around text | Slanted text | Emphasizing descriptions or names |

Using Bold and Italic for Visual Hierarchy
Bold for Headlines and Key Terms
Bold text draws attention quickly. Use *asterisks* to highlight campaign names, exhibition titles, or signature pieces so your Artofit audience grasps the focus at a glance.
Italic for Subtle Emphasis
Italic formatting with _underscores_ works well for artist commentary, workshop dates, or nuanced descriptions. Keep your brand voice consistent while adding typographic variety.
Spacing and Line Breaks for Readability
Controlling Message Flow
Press Enter twice to create a clear gap between paragraphs. This keeps project briefs, exhibition notes, and portfolio highlights scannable, especially on mobile devices.
Structured Lists for Steps and Features
When outlining processes or features, break steps into individual lines instead of long blocks. This improves retention and reduces the need for follow-up clarification.
Monospace for Technical Details and Links
Code and Short Identifiers
Wrap IDs, hashtags, or short technical notes in backticks `to preserve alignment and signal precision. This style reinforces the professional, detail-focused Artofit brand.
URL Presentation
While WhatsApp does not automatically hyperlink long text, using monospace can help designers and collaborators copy short links accurately without mistakes.
Media, Stickers, and Formatting Consistency
Image Captions and Layout Notes
Pair formatted captions with images to maintain a cohesive feed. Use bold headings for series names and italics for exhibition locations to create instant recognition.
Sticker and Emoji Use
Strategic emojis can complement your formatting but should not replace clear typographic hierarchy. Align emoji reactions with the tone and structure of your message.

Wrap the exact words you want to emphasize with *asterisks* on each side, and leave the surrounding text unchanged so the formatting stays precise.
Can I combine bold and italic in the same phrase on WhatsApp for Artofit updates?
WhatsApp does not support nested formatting, so you can use either bold or italics on a selection, but not both simultaneously on the same text.

The styling such as bold, italic, and monospace renders consistently across Android and iOS, so your intended emphasis remains clear on any device.
