What to Know

  • Currently, only apps like Pages and Keynote allow you to switch fonts.
  • Installing fonts on an iPhone requires the use of a separate app, such as iFont or Fonteer.
  • You can download new and custom fonts through a web browser but need a separate font app to install them.

How Can I Download Free Fonts to My iPhone?

How Do I Install Fonts Using iFont?

IFont offers free font downloads and installation, supported by ads. You can use it to download fonts from Google Fonts, Dafont, and Fontspace. You can also use it to install fonts you may have downloaded separately.

Each of iFont’s available font libraries uses a different layout, so navigation is slightly different between the three of them.

  1. Download, install, and open iFont.
  2. From the main page of the app, tapFind Fonts to Install .
  3. Tap the font library you’d like to access (Google Fonts, Dafont, or Fontspace), or tapOpen Files to install fonts you’ve downloaded outside of iFont.
