Some people opt to download big, extensive launchers that enable you to customize your device in many different ways, others however prefer to make subtle adjustments, such as changing the font.
Font changes can also be made to help make your device more user-friendly, if you’re struggling to read the default one. There are two ways you can do this, either through the stock settings of your device or through third-party apps, and below you’ll find explanations for both.
Through Your General Settings
The easiest way to change your fonts is to do so through the options pre-installed on your device. The method to finding them might vary ever-so-slightly depending on what operating system you’re running, but generally you’ll want to go to “Settings” –> “Display” –> “Font”. From there you’ll be presented with a variety of different options to choose from.
However, the stock fonts that are available might be a little limited, so if you can’t find something that tickles your fancy then you’ll need to look into third-party tools.

You can also consider installing dedicated launchers which allow you to truly customize your device. Note that some third-party apps require your device to be Rooted before they’ll work. The two below don’t require this.
