Android offers many options to customize the appearance of your device, including your font style. If you want to change the font of your Android, you can use the built-in settings to do it or use a custom launcher.
Due to the fragmented nature of Android, changing fonts on different manufacturers and Android versions will vary. The steps below are confirmed to work on a Samsung device running Android 9 Pie.
Changing the built-in font settings
Some devices and versions of Android have built-in settings that allow you to change their font style. If your phone or tablet doesn't have these options, you will not be able to change the font style without rooting your device, which is not something we suggest.
If you have the option to modify the font settings, go to the menu “Setting” go to the menu. go to the menu “Setting” go to the menu.
On the menu “Setting”, scroll down and tap the option “Screen”.
The menu “Screen” go to the menu. Touch “go to the menu” go to the menu. go to the menu “Source” go to the menu.
On the menu “go to the menu”, touch the button “Font style”.
You will have a list of pre-installed font styles available for you to choose from. “Predetermined” it is, as the name suggests, the default font used on your device.
Touch one of the other available fonts to switch to it. The change should happen automatically.
Samsung Galaxy device owners can install other fonts using Samsung Galaxy Store. Below the list of pre-installed fonts, touches “go to the menu” go to the menu. From there, download one of the available font alternatives by tapping the download button next to it.
Once you have installed your new font style, go to the menu “Font style” go to the menu.
Use a custom launcher
If you don't have the option to change the font style on your Android device, you can use a custom launcher instead. Two popular launchers that you can select to use are New Launcher and Action launcher.
Both launchers will show you custom fonts, but these will only show up within the launcher itself. That means that the font you see in other parts of Android settings and in other apps will remain the Android default..
