In this guide, we will show you the steps to change font style or apply custom fonts on your Android device. Barring a few smartphones [such as Pixel], nowadays most OEMs come built-in with a slew of customization features. From applying custom themes to changing the app icons and wallpapers or even switching to a different font, the possibilities stand endless.
But if we talk about the fonts, then it is slightly limited in number. On top of that, some OEMs don’t even allow uploading and using your own custom fonts. Well, this is where this guide will come in handy. In this tutorial, we will show you the detailed steps to change font style or apply custom fonts on your Android device. So without further delay, let’s get started.

- Now type 1 if you want to select from preset custom fonts and hit Enter.
- Then type in the desired number next to the font that you want to install.
- Finally, hit Y to reboot your device and the newly installed font to be active.
- On the other hand, if you want to upload a custom font, then type 3 in the font main menu.
