In this guide, we will show you the steps to add custom fonts on your Android device without using any Magisk module. One of the biggest perks of having an open-source ecosystem like Android is the plethora of customization options that it holds up its sleeves. Right from tweaking the UI/UX of the OS via modules like Project Themer and Iconify to adding new features to your device via AOSP Mods, the possibilities stand endless.
Along the same lines, you also have the option to change the default font style on your Android device.

Well, that isn’t an issue as we will show you a nifty method through which you could add custom fonts on your Android device without using any Magisk module. So without further ado, let’s get started.
