Different smartphone manufacturers use their custom UI over the top of Android OS. As a part of their custom UI, these manufacturers use different font styles. For example, the default font of the Android OS is the Robot font. The font on Samsung Galaxy phones is the Samsung One font and the font on the LG phones is also the Roboto font.
The beauty of Android OS is, it allows you to change each and every single element of your phone’s screen. The same applies to the fonts as well. You can install thousands of new font styles on your phone. Right now in this post, I am going to show you how you can install over 1900 different fonts on your Samsung Galaxy phones. The tutorial will be applicable on both the Nougat and the Oreo-powered Samsung Galaxy handsets.
The fonts package comes from teamwings. These guys have been working hard to put together thousands of fonts for different phones including Samsung Galaxy as well. The folks over teamwings have created a little APK that installs all those fonts on your phone. They have different applications, for example, an application to install Arabic fonts, an application to install iOS 11 emojis on your phone and so on.
So, while we head towards the tutorial to install 1900+ fonts on Samsung Galaxy phones, it’s important to understand what applications or tools we are going to use to install these fonts. Basically, there are two different methods to install these fonts on your phone. You can either use the Subtratum theme engine or you can install them without the Subtratum. Whether you want to use Subtratum or not, you are going to need the SamsungSans that you can easily install through the Galaxy Apps on your phone. You can install these 1900+ fonts on any Samsung phone that’s running on Android Nougat or Oreo.
The font developer recommends using Subtratum, however, if you are not comfortable using Subtratum, you can opt for the second method. Let’s install the fonts now and give your phone’s text a brand new overlook.

So, that’s who we installed custom fonts on Samsung Galaxy phones. Although fonts are not that big of a concern, sometimes, you just want to check out something new. In fact, I have something to share that recently pushed me to change my font style. I happened to post a screenshot from my phone to my facebook profile and I came across a backlash by my friends because of the font style I was using on my phone. I was using the Choco-cooky font. I do not really care about others opinon, but I realised that It’s been ages since I’m using the same font so I came across several tutorials. After installing the fonts on my phone, I wrote this guide. I hope you guys find this helpful.
