In this tutorial, we will show you how to install any font on your Samsung Galaxy device. Generally, if you prefer theming your devices or adding custom fonts to them, it’s not that easy. Most OEMs don’t have or support themes. The only way around, in that case, is to root your device and use the Substratum Theme engine. But not everyone prefers to root their device just for the sake of using themes.

They then have to remain satisfied with whatever one or two themes their OEM has provided. But with Samsung, things are different, and in a good way. Be it the Touchwiz or the OneUI, Samsung devices have always offered a plethora of customizations to their users. All the devices from the South Korean conglomerate offer tons of AOD, fonts, icons, themes, and Lock screen customization. You don’t have to exert much effort in this regard.

Just head over to the Samsung store and try out the desired customizations. However, as far as fonts are concerned there isn’t much to talk about. This is because the store only offers a few fonts and some of them fail to live up to the expectation. Therefore, today we will show you how to install any font on Samsung Galaxy devices. The best part is that you can easily download and install any font you like online. Check out how to do it.
