With the massive customizations and tweaks in UI and functionality, the Android operating system provides a rich personalization experience to the users. The customizations let users to theme the devices which gives a power to dress their android device with their own imaginations. One such customization is to change the fonts in the device.

There are a lot of apps available in the android market that lets you change the fonts in your device but most of them merely change the fonts in the settings, menu, and keyboard. If there is a unique system wide font style, it would look nice on the overall experience of the device.

Of course there is a catch here, and the catch is that the device must be Rooted in order to customize your device.

Fonts can be easily changed by just choosing the available fonts and tapping on it. The app will also show the preview of the font style in various scenarios like Italic, bold, regular etc… This will make easy to preview the font before installing it. After selecting the font, you can either reboot or just restart the System UI right from the app to apply the font.
