It also looks like the app has Apple’s blessing as it clearly says that the app will allow you to install fonts in the description. However, it is important to note that the font can only be used in apps such as Keynote, Pages, Numbers etc. that have an option to change fonts. It does not change the system font. The following description used by the developer is a little misleading and could trick a user into thinking that the font can be changed across iOS.
“These fonts can then be used throughout the system in other apps like Pages, Keynote or Numbers”
Anyways, if you are a serious iWorks user who really wants to use such a font which isn’t out there in these apps, you just follow the following simple steps to add the custom font to your iPhone or iPad of your own choice:
Steps To Add Custom Fonts To iOS Devices Without Jailbreak
- Purchase & download the AnyFont app from App Store [iTunes link]. It works on both the iPhone and iPad, and cost $1.99.
- The app doesn’t contain any font. You just add the fonts in .otf or .tff format by using the iTunes File sharing.

- Tap the “Open In AnyFont” caption to add that fonts to the app. You may use app such as DropBox as well.
- After this the font is added by using either “Open In” or iTunes Files Sharing feature, you will find this in the list below the Fonts. Tap the font given list.
