Whether you are captioning posts, taking notes, or designing a menu, type does a lot of quiet work. The steps below cover how to find, preview and install fonts on iOS properly, using font keyboard as the working tool.
Clean up what you never used
Every few months, remove the fonts you installed but never reached for. A tidy collection in font keyboard is a collection you will actually open.
Check it at the size you will really use
In font keyboard, adjust the preview size to match the real use case. A heading font should be tested large; body text should be tested small. Many good-looking typefaces fall apart at 11pt, and this is the fastest way to catch that.
Test colour and contrast, not just shape
Use the colour control in font keyboard to try the font in the context you will publish it in — white on dark, dark on a photo, brand colour on white. Contrast changes how a typeface reads far more than most people expect.
Give each project its own set
Rather than one giant list, keep small sets inside font keyboard — one for your brand, one for personal notes, one for client work. Small curated sets get reused; giant lists get ignored.
Install only from a proper font tool. Free font sites bundled with installers are how phones end up with junk profiles.
Give it a try on your next piece of content. A better font is the smallest change with the largest visible effect, and font keyboard makes it a two-minute job.
