Top 9 Aesthetic Font Apps on Android

The default font on Android phones can feel quite boring, which is why many users opt to change it for a more interesting and aesthetically pleasing experience.

Fortunately, there are now a variety of Android apps that offer a wide selection of attractive fonts. In this article, Carisinyal will review some of the best font apps available for Android devices.

1. Phonto

This app offers hundreds of ready-to-use fonts, eliminating the need to download them individually. Simply select, arrange, and add them to your image in just seconds!

Phonto does more than just add text; it also lets you adjust the color, size, and font effects to your liking. If the built-in font collection isn’t enough, you can even upload your own fonts from outside the app.

However, there is a minor drawback that might confuse new users: the navigation isn’t very intuitive. When I first opened the app, I had difficulty figuring out how to add text, even though I had already opened the image I wanted to edit. It turns out this feature is tucked away in the top menu bar, marked by a pencil icon.

Initially, I thought the icon was just for renaming files, but it turns out that's where all the text settings are located. In the main menu, Phonto offers only a few simple options, such as adding images, inserting text on videos (via a separate app), and basic settings.

Things I like about Phonto:

• A diverse collection of fonts.
• Complete customization options: text color, size, and effects.
• Supports adding external fonts based on personal preference.

Things to consider about Phonto:

• The navigation for adding text is a bit hidden and requires some exploration.

2. Stylish Text

Stylish Text offers a unique input system. In addition to functioning as a keyboard, the app features floating bubble and floating bar modes, making it easier for users to access the various fonts available. You can choose one of these modes or even use all three simultaneously.

Before you start using it, you can preview Stylish Text's font collection directly in the app. The collection includes a wide range of styles, from standard alphabetic letters to unique variations (glyphs) and kaomoji.

An interesting feature of Stylish Text is the ability to create your own font style using its extensive database of fonts and symbols. This allows you to craft more personalized and unique fonts.

Additionally, this feature provides a great opportunity to enhance your creativity in font design. If you're unsure how to get started, there's a helpful tutorial available to guide you!

What I particularly admire about Stylish Text is that each feature is accompanied by a tutorial, ensuring that users can easily make the most of the app without any confusion.

Things I like about Stylish Text:

• Offers three input modes, keyboard, floating bubble, and floating bar, making it easy for users to access various fonts.
• A wide collection of fonts and kaomojis.
• Each feature comes with a short tutorial, helping users quickly understand how to use it.
• Allows users to create their own custom font styles.

Things to consider about Stylish Text:

• The interface design is rather cluttered.

Make your device stand out with a variety of fonts from iFont! This app offers various fonts that are compatible with many devices without requiring root access. Supported devices include Samsung, MIUI, Meizu, and Huawei.

If you're using an HTC, Sony, or Motorola device, don't worry, you can still use iFont, though it will require root access.

While iFont only supports monochrome fonts, the available font styles can be resized. You can also preview fonts in various sizes before downloading, ensuring they appear exactly how you want them.

What I appreciate most about iFont is that it provides file size information for each font. While the average file size is small, this feature is especially helpful for devices with limited memory.

Additionally, iFont excels by supporting fonts from a variety of countries, including Korea, Japan, and China, which feature their own unique alphabets.

Things I like about iFont:

• File size information is available for every font.
• Supports a wide range of devices, both with and without root access.
• Includes fonts from various countries with their own writing systems, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
• All fonts can be downloaded and used for free.

4. Fonts Art

Fonts Art not only offers cool fonts but also provides a unique experience when using them. As soon as you replace your default keyboard with Fonts Art, you’re greeted by an interactive chatbot that lets you explore the various fonts available.

The font collection is impressive, featuring everything from classic styles to framed fonts and even unique sandwich fonts. All of these are ready to enhance your text on social media or messaging apps.

But Fonts Art doesn’t stop at fonts, it also includes adorable symbols, funny stickers, and expressive kaomojis to bring your messages to life. Plus, you can set your input language to German, French, Swedish, and several other languages.

Unfortunately, if you type in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, Fonts Art doesn’t yet support these distinct alphabets. However, with all its other exciting features, the app is definitely worth trying out.

One of HiFont's standout features is the ease with which you can change fonts. For users with Samsung, Huawei, and MIUI devices, this app doesn’t require root access, making it both practical and safe to use.

At first, I thought only a few fonts would be available for free, but it turns out that all fonts on HiFont can be downloaded free of charge. In return, you just need to watch a few ads within the app.

What’s great is that the app automatically checks whether the available fonts are compatible with your device. For example, on my Infinix device, the app detects 35 font styles that can be used freely.

Additionally, Hand Fonts provides a keyboard font feature, allowing you to type in various text styles directly from the keyboard. The app also informs you if this feature is compatible with your device, so you don’t have to try it out yourself.

The fonts offered are perfect for those who enjoy a girly touch. However, the collection is more limited compared to other apps, as it centers around this specific theme.
