Wrapping Up

Congratulations on successfully changing the font style on your Android device!

Only a few Android manufacturers offer several fonts and come with a font store, where you can download free or paid fonts and set it system-wide. However, Android devices like Pixel have no fonts to choose from.

If you have a Pixel or Android device that doesn’t offer font change, there is a way around. Start by opening the Play Store and pick any prominent third-party launchers like Nova, Niagara, Lawnchair, etc.

Once you have installed the launchers, you will have a different font. If you’re also unhappy with those, head to the Play Store, pick icon packs of your choice, and load them on the launcher.
