Fonts are one of the most crucial things in an Android ecosystem. Fonts define how you experience the UI in an operating system, Android in this case. The open source-based Android platform offers the user to customize their smartphones A to Z with custom skins, ROMs, etc. One of the most searched features in the customization department is ‘Change Fonts’ which, not many people know.
So today, I’ll be guiding you on how to change fonts on your Android smartphone with or without the root method.
Ways To Change Fonts On Android Smartphones
Without Root
Some brands provide settings and features to change fonts on their devices without the need for rooting. Probably in the theme or personalization section, one can find a few pre-installed fonts, that users can change to anytime they want, but there are a whole more set of devices that have an option to change fonts neither from the theme store nor the settings.
So, for those users, these are the ways through which, you can get different fonts for your smartphone which are explained below.
Change Fonts Using Built-in Default Settings
As said earlier, some brands do provide the users with a few custom sets of fonts pre-downloaded in their UI. Brands like Samsung, Realme, and Xiaomi have theme store, through which they offer the option to download and install various fonts, which can be free or paid depending upon your region.
